Sixteen short, sharp bursts of lo-fi pop that reminds of everything from early Pavement and Guided by Voices, as well as UK post-punkers Swell Maps and Desperate Bicycles. 180 gram vinyl version.

		Pre-order Sale $8.99 CD Pre-order Sale $11.99 LP   VAMPIRE WEEKEND Vampire Weekend (XL) Possibly the most anticipated debut of 2008 drops as early as January 29!
