I am not an indie rock fan, but there are a few exceptions. Vampire Weekend is one of them. They are hard to hate. I listen to their self-titled album every Friday after work to get ready for the weekend.
The band’s new album, Contra, comes out Tuesday, but they put the entire album on MySpace. Haven’t finished it yet, but it sounds just as kick ass as the first one. Also, they’re on the Tonight Show on Monday night.
