Vampire Weekend - A-Punk. These guys, they is shit hot right now.
Vampire Weekend is an indie rock band from New York City, formed in 2006 and signed to XL Recordings. Vampire Weekend came to public attention via a variety of blogs, first Canadian Matt Yanchyshyn's African and world music audioblog "Benn loxo du taccu", and then six months later on Stereogum. The band is influenced by both African popular music and Western classical music. They describe their genre of music curiously as"Upper West Side Soweto", performing such songs as "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa", which references Congolese soukous music.
