March 28. Video debuted this week also on MTV. One very alternative song here. I'm in.

As I said in the "Cousins" thread, this is a much more worthy single choice. Glad to hear it's up next. I could easily see this becoming their first top 10.

Cousins and Horchata stand out so much more as songs that fit on Alternative radio. This is pretty damn close too.

Although "Horchata" has grown on me a lot since it was first released as a digital download, it still doesn't sound like a hit to me. It's just one of those songs that are too poppy for Alternative, and too alternative for Pop.

I think this will really go Top 10 somewhere near May, it'll be a while, but it's a great son.

This will definitely go Top 10. It's their best single to date.

Not sure about best, especially when it has to follow Cousins. I love their sound though.

It's just one of those songs that are too poppy for Alternative, and too alternative for Pop. Horchata is absolutely no different than 1901 by Phoenix in terms of its possible appeal to Alt and crossover. I just doubt they are going to go that route. |

Horchata is way more AAA and Hot AC than Alternative. The last two Alt singles should be Holiday and Run.

To me Horchata is the second most alternative sounding song on the CD.

Upon the first listen, this became my favorite Vampire Weekend song by a longshot.

I am surprised Cousins ended so abruptly. This could be crossover big.

I'm surprised that this is moving so slowly. I hope that it turns out to be a hit though.
