Vampire Weekend have gotten more web/promotional savy over the last two years! If you head over to http://ithinkuracontra.com/ you can watch a short clip previewing “White Sky”!
The clip starts with 20 seconds of ambient African tribal noises, and then kicks into what should be the familar sounds of “White Sky”. I am literally dying to hear the recorded version of “White Sky” for almost 2 years now. I was at their bowery ballroom cd release show when they played the song for the first time ever back in January 2008.
The video has only a few seconds of the song, but it is enough to make any fan antsy to hear the rest. The song sounds great though, they have not changed it much since I first saw it. There are also some images of the band playing an intimate gig in some dudes basement. I would like Thankfully they didn’t keep that Jimmy Fallon version.
Watch it over at Vampire Weekend’s site now! You can also see another clip right here. Part if me wonders if they are hinting towards a possible webcast of this basement gig? That would be pretty sweet!
