Vampire Weekend
It’s just a sin not to tell about this wonderful group. Vampire Weekend - music without deep thoughts turning consciousness, they bribe their simplicity and intelligibility. The spanish indi -pop with the strong influence of African rhythms managed to come to the taste of the whole world - from all kinds of musical publications, to, which unexpectedly, the singer of the melancholy of Chris Martin ( Chris Martin ) from Coldplay . Once, having seen their video for the song "A-Punk" in the Hard-Rock Cafe, I just fell in love once and for all. It seems that nothing is very unusual, but, damn how these guys cheer up !!!
The New York group “Vampire Weekend” is a bright representative of what is now called the “Blog Band-Phenomenon”. This works something like this: unknown musicians start a blog on the network, in which demo versions, self-packing videos, records on the recording process, etc. are laid out. Then they bomb friends with links, they “bring” friends and friends of friends. Soon, a huge number of people observes the reality show “Recording of the first album”. Of course, by the time of the release, the group becomes very popular at minimal costs for promo, the first concerts take place with a house, the plate is soured than popcorn at the premiere of “strangers against the predator”. It is worth noting that groups trying to become famous in this way - the pond pond, the best become popular. Because even the best friends will not dare to listen to your music, if she is bad, so talking about friends of friends or generally strangers? As for the music “VW”, it is a living and diverse punk with a very harmoniously sounding admixture of the African ethnic. (C) Last.fm
Now we can already talk about the new poet in the musical industry, namely about the total hobby of all the more or less outstanding musicians African music of the 70s. The same Coldplay find a noticeable influence of Afrogite on a new plate, and Franz Ferdinand said without abode that they wanted to do the same. It is important here not only that Vampire Weekend was the first figures of indie scenes, who shook off the dust from the Fela Kuti records, but the fact that in their case it is not just a stylistic move, designed to diversify the wilted sound, but a direct reflection of the bright joy that their songs emit.
