VAMPIRE WEEKEND

Contra (High Quality 180 Gram Vinyl)

Some bands stay in a holding pattern their whole careers. Others jerk the steering wheel hard and fly off the road.

On their second album, Vampire Weekend do neither. Or maybe they do both. ‘Contra’ pulls off a series of impressive feats: It’s bustling with fresh ideas and yet it sounds immediately familiar; it’s heavily layered but taut and kinetic; it chews ravenously through sound palettes and rhythms, and yet it’s nimble and assured; it’s still breezy, and yet it smolders with a new found emotional heft.

The songs are catchy, fast, twinkling, clattering – the darker themes of loss, doubt and regret accumulate almost imperceptibly, but they land a powerful blow. Includes the single, ‘Horchata’)
