What a year Vampire Weekend have had. From pop oddballs to proud US Album Chart toppers the Ivy League Americans have hit the big time. This is due to their hugely loveable and brilliant second album “Contra”, packed full of unforgettable pop-tunes that explore and embody pop in equal measures. The best of the bunch, “Giving Up The Gun” may have made people snidely remark that they had “sold out” by including many A-list celebrities in the music video (unfortunately among them the Jonas Brothers........) but this video was more about having fun than anything else. The song itself falls into our ears as softly as snow. Vocalist Ezra Koenig recognisable croon is gentle throughout never overpowering the extremely catchy melody as the tempo shifts perfectly the whole time. Vampire Weekend have made their mark and thankfully are here to stay.
