Vampire Weekend have downplayed their success in the States, claiming they'd be "shallow" to get carried away.The band's second album 'Contra' went to the top of the US Billboard chart at the start of the year, but the band aren't letting it go to their heads.
"It's exciting, but you're number one for a week and then you're not,” frontman Ezra Koenig told NME.
"Even with a number one there's still plenty of people who've never heard of you. There's so much to do. To be number one versus number three or number five, that's the luck of the draw.
"Our day-to-day has changed so little. It's not like now the glitz and glamour surrounds us."
