We’re All Contras.
AH! AH! AHHH!
I promised myself I wouldn’t gush. I promised myself I wouldn’t use lots of exclamation points. I even held back until now. It took all the self-control I had, but I didn’t run to my keyboard the second I heard about the new Vampire Weekend album. I didn’t remind you all about how I was the first person on hypemachine to post “White Sky” (but I was, remember?). I didn’t say anything.
But now I will.
Contra comes out in January. It couldn’t come soon enough. I’ve heard one of the songs (above link), and the 43-second teaser of the final (namesake) track, which is below. It’s enough to get me super-pumped. The first is the teaser, the second a boogilicious remix of 2008’s favorite “Ottoman,” which sounds like every song icebergxc listened to when we were freshmen and sophomores in high school. In the best possible way, of course. It uses synthesizer power to melt your brains, and then brings in a fantastic explosive synth/bass/drum triforce at all the right times. Well done, Redlight!
