Yeah, and I couldn't stand their first album. I watched a documentary about Scott Walker soon after hearing "Vampire Weekend" for the first time. In the film, Brian Eno talks about how these days people complain about pop music so much that they don't realize that there are hundreds of indie bands that all sound exactly like Talking Heads and Roxy Music thirty years after those bands disbanded. This is exactly how I feel about Vampire Weekend, frankly. I'm a huge indie fan but these guys just push it.
