ABOUT THIS ITEM

Thieves & Villains take the indie-rock vibe of Vampire Weekend, combine it with the childlike sense of wonder found in early Daniel Johnston, and add the quirkiness of "Pinkerton"-era Weezer.

While crafting their sophomore record, Thieves & Villains ambitiously recorded to analog tape on vintage tape machines and used all their own gear and live tones. They didn’t record hundreds of takes on any song, and approached every section with real talent and logic. "South America" is not the product of hours of tweaking, but rather the product of great friends having fun while making music the old-fashioned way.
