VWs Batmanglij’s Blockbuster Orchestral Score
May 28, 2008
Whatever your seasonal preference Vampire Weekend’s eponymous debut belongs in summer catalogue just like the band’s wardrobe, but Rostam Batmanglij seeks to speed towards the fall equinox with his “new” string orchestral edit of “Campus”. With the subtle string arrangements present of VW, it might strike at first an unmixed demo, but after some research it seems like it might be a pre-VW rendition, and it’s damn good. Something for day-walkers i guess.

2008 has been a 6-month, non-stop Vampire Weekend with SPIN proclaiming the best band of the year had already been found in March many of us gave a nod of skeptical but subtle approval (as for people crying “solid afrobeat throwback”, that’s a bit more contentious).
