About the album

Ezra Koenig, Rostam Batmanglij, Chris Baio and Chris Tomson met at Columbia University, and their debut, produced by Rostam, mixes clean, bright indie rock with African highlife and soukous guitar, chamber-pop strings and harpsichord, and Koenig's witty, literate lyrics.

"A-Punk" is a two-minute burst of joy, "Oxford Comma" is clever and catchy, "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" bounces with Afropop flair, and "Walcott" is a thrilling finale. Pure sunshine.
