CD & LP (XL)
Like, come on already. Stop being so bloody catchy! Vampire Weekend seem to be “guilty pleasure” for many a music fan these days… um, what is that all about? How about Vampire Weekend are really good. We’ve seriously played this album twice in the store & I’m already singing tunes from it. “Cousins” is the “A-Punk” of this record for sure & despite the slight misstep with the auto-tuned silliness, Contra is a great follow up to one of the best debut albums of the last couple years. Get over it, they’re good. Stop hating life so much. Enjoy yourself. Sing along to these tunes & not smile – I dare you.
