Vampire Weekend – Contra (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Vampire Weekend arrived with their self-titled debut already fully formed, but *Contra* found the band pushing further into the unexpected, weaving AutoTune, steel drums, and M.I.A.-style sonics alongside the Afropop and chamber pop foundations that made them one of the most talked-about acts of the late 2000s. Ezra Koenig's lyrical wit remained sharp, but the arrangements grew bolder and stranger in the best possible way.
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.
