Description: Don't believe the hype - wait, do. Vampire Weekend is the bonafide best new band in indie rock, mixing Shins-caliber hooks with a bit of Paul Simon's "Graceland" and David Byrne's well-traveled pop. It's hard to find a more perfect debut than the Ivy League quartet's 2008 self-titled release, which spawned stuck-in-your-head gems like "Oxford Comma" and "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa."
