This band really shouldn’t work.

They continually make references to colleges, bed linen and New England society that make you think of the detestable world of F. Scott Fitzgerald and smug rich people with sweaters over their shoulders. Musically, they have all these African influences that reminds you of the colonial 80’s when big name pop stars like Paul Simon mined the continent’s music for their major label records. Hell, this song even namechecks Peter Gabriel. But, it transpires that Vampire Weekend have made one of the best albums of the year and this is another delightful single from it.
