Contra: Vampire Weekend
The eagerly anticipated follow-up to their 2008 self-titled debut sees this Brooklyn band forge new territory whilst remaining very much true to their unique and much loved world meets indie pop sound.
What’s so impressive about this record is the band's ability to inject new ideas and sounds and yet keep the overall tone familiar. Positively brimming with energy and rhythmic inventiveness, it’s a tight but breezy collection of tunes that is sure to please their many fans and convert some new ones.
