For those who avoid the typical channels of hype, the oddly named Vampire Weekend are the latest yelpy Brooklyn act to stir up the blogosphere and beyond. While the idea of a quartet of recent Columbia grads playing a deft mix of quirk, nostalgia, and Afro-pop rhythm might make you scratch your head, the band's self-titled debut is bursting with enough irresistible melodies to make good on reviewers' frequent Graceland comparisons. Add a dash of Wes Anderson deadpan and a pinch of the Shins, and presto: it's your next indie-pop crush.
