Most awaited albums of 2013: Vampire Weekend’s Modern Vampires of the City

Vampire Weekend is a band us Indie music lovers have listened to ever since Indie became a word, and this band continues to amaze audiences worldwide with one of the most awaited albums of 2013.

Vampire Weekend has a very distinct sound and instrumentals that are almost instantly recognized which some people like to call African-tinged pop music. Not having any album releases for 2012, they made their fans wait for their next album which came just in time for the summer of 2013. Having the sound that they do, I think Modern Vampires of the City is pretty much the perfect album for the start of summer; it really makes you feel as if you were a kid listening to a childhood favourite of yours whilst having the adult responsibilities that we all have.

This album was very well done and feels like a rare thought-through in today’s indie music genre. The best songs of this album were the slow and relaxed jams such as ‘step’ that is rather different than anything we've heard before, however still has that eloquent voice of Ezra Koenig. These songs are a huge step forward for Vampire Weekend and Indie music as a whole and we’re all going to be hearing a lot more in the time coming about Modern Vampires of the City because it’s a pretty much perfect album for the perfect time.

What are the best indie songs 2012??

There have countless songs throughout the year, and year after year there are more bands than ever before. In my opinion the best indie songs 2012 consists of many different genres and talented artists which come from different backgrounds and have totally different sounds to their music. 

Looking back over this year, there was a lot of artists with amazing songs that stood out. I noticed a refined yet seismic change in my own listening habits than ever before. Now, the top songs of 2012 don’t necessarily mean top indie songs 2012. Recently the top songs of 2012 typically means the most main stream music of today, which consists of music on the radio and more conventional than actual indie music. That being said, music taste varies from person to person, so my favourite songs might not be everyone’s favourite songs, but I do guarantee that they are the Best indie songs 2012.

Now one of my favourites of 2012 include little talks by Bombay bicycle club, imprint after by toro y moi, breezeblocks by Alt-j, default by Django Django, Vijae astral by Dumbo gets mad, and R u mine by Arctic Monkeys. There are a lot more of best indie songs of 2012, the list is very long, that is why we will keep you updated and keep you enjoying the music!
