i don’t really get all the hate that vampire weekend have been getting from their sophomore release, contra. i’ve spun in a handful of times and i think it’s definitely solid front to back. the album definitely succeeds due in large to a select few of single-ready cuts, including my personal favorite, “white sky”

“white sky” couples the sunny electronic blips found throughout the majority of contra’s makeup with Ezra Koenig’s ascending sunspotted ah-ah’s and oo-oo’s that make it contra’s undeniable high-point. it’s like being showered in sunshine while i sit bundled up inside my frigid room.

contra is out this tuesday.
