Vampire Weekend, a quartet of Columbia kids, offer up damn-near perfect pop tunes with an endearing sincerity we can only hope survives a rocket to stardom. But don't mistake their earnest attitudes for naÃƒÂ¯vetÃƒÂ©; the boys write beyond their years, with pointed, often sardonic commentary soaring over ebullient keys in sing-a-long verse. Vampire Weekend cite African bands like Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Kanda Bongo Man as pull points. Of course, these Columbia grads flaunt their Western roots, too: "A-Punk"'s got some Kinks, "Oxford Comma" is like MMJ's Z revisited from Brooklyn.
