Vampire Weekend, "Modern Vampires of the City"

In this episode, we dive into the world of Ivy League indie pop
with Vampire Weekend's third studio album. Though much of the
indie world fell in love with this band from the start, some
music media pegged Vampire Weekend as privileged, waspy Columbia
grads using cultural appropriation to their advantage. My guest
Jerry Bell explains how the band rose to popularity, overcame
assumptions to bring more international music to the forefront,
and evolved both together as a band and as individuals.
