Vampire Weekend: Contra (180g) Vinyl LP
$24.95
<p><i>Sophomore LP from indie-pop darlings Vampire Weekend.</i> This one takes all of the notable elements from the group's debut album - the preciousness, the borrowing from traditional African music, the happy-go-lucky vocals from Ezra Koenig - and cranks them up even further. Check out the band's ode to refreshing Mexican beverages on "Horchata," the auto-tune(!) on "California English," the new wave influence on "Giving Up The Gun," or the slow ballad "I Think Ur A Contra." 10 tracks on 180g vinyl, packaged in a pic sleeve that also includes a poster of the album cover.</p> <ul> <li>180g black vinyl pressing</li> <li>music label: XL Recordings 2010 / 2019</li> </ul> <h6>reviewed by Hires 01/2010</h6>.
