Contra [CD], Vampire Weekend, CD

Like the first album, CONTRA was produced by keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij and is the realization of a whole and unique musical vision that sees the band stretching out and adding new textures, instrumentation, and rhythms into their sound. Primarily recorded in New York with a springtime sojourn to Mexico, CONTRA feels altogether fresh, joyous, and like nothing else but is immediately recognizable as the sound of VAMPIRE WEEKEND.
