Vampire Weekend // Giving up the Gun



Premiered on Channel 4 last night (so often the domain of mediocre Madonna and Oasis efforts), Vampire Weekend's video to promote new single Giving up the Gun maintains their burgeoning reputation for videos as unique and entrancing as their songs.

Directed by Emmett Malloy who recently worked on The White Stripes' Under Great White Northern Lights, the video not only features the unlikely menage a trois of Joe Jonas, RZA and Jake Gyllenhal, but sees them battling a fearsome red-head in some sort of heavenly future tennis. A delight.
