Opinion-splitting college-rockers-on-safari Vampire Weekend will throw their meat to the lions on the 3rd of March, as they release their debut record through XL.
You’ll be able to get the self-titled effort earlier if you’re prepared to go the import route, or perhaps just take a safari yourself, what with the strength of the pound for the Englishman in New York. These days.
Tracklisted:
_‘Mansard Roof’
‘Oxford Comma’
‘A-Punk’
‘Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa’
‘M79’
‘Campus’
‘Bryn’
‘One (Blake's Got a New Face)’
‘I Stand Corrected’
‘Walcott’
‘The Kids Don't Stand a Chance’ _
The quartet appear at Glasgow’s Barrowlands tonight, in their last show as support to indie act The Shins.
DiScuss: are you looking forward to the Vampire Weekend album? Will it be love at first bite? Do you think the band will get off to a flyer? Or perhaps they'll have teething problems? Either way, the stakes are pretty high.
