Vampire Weekend, the indie darlings of New York City stay true to form in their second major album released almost two years to the day after their self titled debut. The tracks are instrumentally elaborate. The lyrics are poetic at times, and at other times they are just fun. This is a light hearted album. Nothing about it is cumbersome. There are stories told in these songs, but they're easy going tales of coincidence, liesure, family, and optimism. This is a band that really kind of makes music that seems to appeal to their demographic. Most of their fans are white males or females between 14 and 24 from middle to upper class families with an affinity for indie-pop. If you listen to Vampire Weekend, you probably are in this group and know what I mean. What creates this appeal is recognizable throughout the album, something about the instrumental delivery I think.
