High Rotation: Vampire Weekend "Contra"

« Go Back

Infectious! Preppy! Indie! Yes, it’s Vampire Weekend’s much-anticipated follow up album Contra!

Arguably the most anticipated release in January, the buzz surrounding Contra stretches globally and the pressure has been on for Vampire Weekend to deliver an album the industry are already touting as the biggest indie crossover in 2010!

Contra is set to deliver and then some. Bursting with fresh ideas, the songs are fast and layered with Horchata, White Sky and lead single Cousins tearing up the airwaves. Recorded in just two weeks after their 18-month world tour, Contra explodes any reductive notions of what constitutes Vampires Weekend's sound.

The varied influences include ska, Brazilian baile funk, NYC 1983, dance hall to reggae, with a bit of to even Beastie Boy's Paul's Boutique thrown in. The range of influences are incorporated with subtlety and sophistication, making Vampire Weekend's new album worth all the hype! Check out the vid to Cousins and get ready to for Contra - in stores 12th Jan through Remote Control Records.
