Video: Vampire Weekend: "Mansard Roof"

For their very first video, Afro-pop loving Ivy Leaguers Vampire Weekend fully embrace their upper-crust prep image, as they lounge in the open air on a yacht, playing music without a care in the world. It's not hard to imagine that somewhere below is a blender whipping up boat drinks, and the boys no doubt have some salt-stained Sperry Top-Siders to slip their bare feet into should the deck get a bit slippery. "Mansard Roof" is not their catchiest song by a longshot, but it does seem a fair intro to their aesthetic, which this fun-in-the-sun video then hammers home mightily. (via Subterranean)
