Vampire Weekend Music Video: Cousins
By Seraphina L.
Vampire Weekend has just released a video for their second single “Cousins,” a follow-up to last month’s single, “Horchata.” Both tracks are from their highly anticipated sophomore album, Contra (via XL Recordings on January 12, 2010).
“Cousins” veers off into a different sound using short guitar riffs and the use of a bell (regular not cowbell) and the track, itself, is a lot more upbeat and infectious than “Horchata.” Directed by Garth Jennings, the video has been the funnest one to watch since “A-Punk.”
