Description
Catch the breathless snare rush before the last chorus of Cousins; it sums up Contra’s wired, precise energy. Vampire Weekend - Contra (LP) finds the band nudging their bookish pop toward punchier synths, quick pivots, and sly hooks. Horchata opens with clattering percussion and glassy keys that ping around Ezra Koenig’s melody. Giving Up the Gun leans into sleek, modern pop without losing the group’s wry grin. This pressing lets the low end sit deeper and the imaging snap into place, so those marimbas and bass pulses feel properly grounded. Self-produced with Rostam at the controls, the sophomore confidence shows in tidy arrangements and bright, unfussy pacing. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Vampire Weekend records online with us. File it beside Talking Heads’ lively global pop era, where nimble guitars and worldly rhythms read as curious rather than touristic. It plays easy at a small party, and still rewards a late solo drive when the details come forward. A sharp pressing like this belongs next to the debut, but shows a sleeker, more playful stride.
Add it to your collection today, available online or in our Melbourne record store.
