This is just barely going to make it into May, but better late than never.
During the trip to Ecuador, I had ample time to listen to some fresh tunes, foremost of those being anything from the new Vampire Weekend album Modern Vampires of the City (MVOTC). Once again, V-Dubbs nail it. I seriously can't get enough of this album. It's experimental yet classic, regal yet surfer, and full of moments that made me fall in love with Vampire Weekend in the first place. I also had a chance to listen to Phoenix's newest album Bankrupt!. Their abrupt turn to a more electronic sound made me oh so happy. Great album. Once night hit in Ecuador, my ears specifically yearned for Beirut's The Flying Club Cup. I just love everything about Beirut's sound(s); their musical diversity and beautiful melodies entrance me, especially (for whatever reason) when my melatonin is running high. Lastly, earlier in the month I dabbled into Starf*cker's famed album Reptilians. Electronic goodness.
