Freaky Fresh: 7-24

This one took a bit to grow on me. I know many people, myself included, raved about how awesome Vampire Weekend was the first half of last year, then grew tired of it by the end of summer. Well, this one is kind of similar with the influence of African beats except it is from an ex-pat who was born in Africa. The Very Best played last Sunday at Pitchfork, but I was too busy waiting for the Flaming Lips to see them. As I let their music grow on me I'm really regretting missing it. Oh and I mentioned Vampire Weekend before for good reason. The title track off the upcoming TVB album, Warm Heart of Africa, sees a guest appearance from Ezra Koenig, not to be outdone by Rostam and the Discovery side project.
