The Soundscan numbers are in and they’re big. Well, 2009 big: 34,148 copies sold. Number 8 on the Top 200. In its first week, the Brooklyn parlor experimentalists‘ much ballyhooed third LP, Veckatimest, steamrolled its way out of stores at a clip few indie rock releases enjoy. Those dudes are probably going to be seen riding around in limousines from here on out, tossing money at kids through the moon roof. Bet us.
