Now, someone go tell BLK JKS their pretense of being an American jazz power trio is inappropriate for people with their upbringing.

That's where I think they set themselves apart from other pop musicians (indie rock, mainstream pop, whatever) who incorporate strings. VW's strings just feel organic. They're not "added" for anything "extra" as strings often are in pop music, they're just part of the tunes. I think that really started sticking out for me when I first heard the demo of "Campus" (which I think I got from here, thanks), which is just Rostam singing the song over a string arrangement, and it gave the sense that the song was just written that way. It just worked. Most of the people decrying VW probably are middle-class white kids who went to college, just like the VW guys. Maybe you're not a trust fund kid and you went to state college not Ivy and you don't have a yacht or wear boat shoes and you didn't know what a mansard roof was until VW started singing about them a couple of years ago, but the thing is, you're probably still a privileged brat. Otherwise you wouldn't even think about this. Go pat yourself on the back, because you like doing that. But you're wrong. Oh and STINKY you're also wrong about horchata. It's always delicious. But horchata from El Salvador is the best horchata. Matthew, my favorite thing about VW generally is the string arrangements too.

I can not knock them like some and judge them to be posers. I love their sound, their elegance and intellect. I've heard several songs from their second album and they haven't steered from their signature sound at all, which is awesome. They're great and I want them to continue making music. http://tangentmissjump.blogspot.com (visit my blog. Click the google ads, Thank you.)

To my ears, they borrow way more from Elvis Costello and Paul Simon (and not even Graceland!). The most striking thing to me in the VW songs I enjoy the most are the string arrangements, which uh, is not exactly a regular component of African music.

Texturally, maybe a little. It's like when Sting plays "Fields of Gold" on his lute; it doesn't really sound like Renaissance music, it just sounds like Sting, playing a lute. What you didn't mention about "Horchata" is what a head-destroying earworm it is. I've been singing it to myself for about the last three days, which kinda sucks cos I don't know all the words yet. To cheer myself up, I've been substituting paraphrased snippets of the Modern Lovers' "Pablo Picasso" instead: <i>Some guys pick up girls, get called ass-holes This never happened to Pab-lo Pi-cas-so Girls would turn green as a-vo-c-a-a-dos When he'd drive by in his El Dorado</i> So lilting!
