OT: Track 9 on the new Vampire Weekend is gorgeous
I suggest everyone go get a pair of boat shoes and a pastel polo shirt to go along with it.
It's a pretty damn good album. Go Lions.
Several of these are beautiful.

Track 3 has been stuck in my head. They're like baroque wedding songs. In addition, I am loving the lyrics, which I have barely paid attention to since I was a hormonal teenager.
Ha, perfect! I'm stealing that.

Got it.
Listening to the album for the first time now.

Enjoying it immensely.
I disagree with the comment below that the African influence is absent. It's toned down, but undoubtedly there.
"Largely devoid" was probably an overstatement.
"Subdued" would be a better description. It's still there in the background on a number of the tracks, occasionally jumping to the forefront in spots ("Everlasting Arms").
Yep. Agree completely.
