Vampire Weekend's new video for "Giving Up the Gun"—a fairly pop excursion for the band—carries the narrative of a surreal tennis tournament as its star player works her way up the ladder. With cameos from Jake Gyllenhaal and the RZA, this clean video takes place over a primarily white environment, highlighting the concept and unearthly quality of the ultimately optimistic story. Vampire Weekend's sophomore album, Contra, is out now.
