I've always admired Vampire Weekend and their jolly, buoyant tunes. Their third album, Modern Vampires of the City, is a revelation; it makes me LOVE them. With this release, they tread into darker, more sophisticated territory without losing any of their charm. They don't shed the sound of their past efforts but experiment and subvert, announcing their arrival as serious musicians here to stay for a good long while. It's the perfect album for the impending coastal summer. You'll feel it in your bones.
Best tracks: "Step" and "Hudson."
