A-Punk Vampire Weekend

And why I picked this song as the best of this first half of the year? Well, the innovative, chilly, watery, and jittery music video of this song helped me shake that weird mood that the awful cold winter brought to my existence.

The debut album of this band delivers an excellent collection of indie rock tunes with joyful, afro-pop-inspired melodies and rhythms. Think Paul Simon, Talking Heads and Peter Gabriel at their best. It is definitely my favorite album of this year so far.

Let the boys show you what is all about:
