| - A-Punk was recorded in 2007 and was produced by Rostam Batmanglij & Jacob Friett. It features Indie Rock and Surf Rock. According to Mark Richardson of Pitchfork Media, A-Punk has "a spunky drive, pogo-inducing rhythm, and subtle but hugely effective sonic accents" and said that "while solid, isn't one of the stronger songs on Vampire Weekend". The music video was directed by Garth Jennings who intended the video to be full of energy, with sped up stop motion pictures of the band members.

Garth Jennings directed the song's video and Nick Goldsmith produced it. Working under the pseudonym of Hammer and Tongs, they are best known for directing the promo for Blur's "Coffee & TV," which won the 1999 MTV Europe Music Award for Best Video.
