12. Vampire Weekend - 'Vampire Weekend' - Have a listen to this record again now and you'll find you like it. The buzzsaw silliness of A-Punk, the jingly joy of Walcott, it's all back. For a while there, they were everywhere, their shirts were too crisp and their album too gimmicky. Now, the slick wittiness of Oxford Comma sounds fresh again and the songs relax the listener in with their calypso friendliness. Feeling so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too, has never been so jolly. [GR]
