Not abandoning their Paul Simon influences, Contra is another lovely blend of thumping Afro-jam and playful indie pop. However, the sophomore release isn't groundbreaking like their eponymous debut due to its nearly identical revisit to the same theme. It still sounds like Vampire Weekend can have good fun but this time the chords and lyrics aren't as memorable. In any case, it's a good spin. This is Vampire Weekend being the charming, prepster darlings that we all know and love.
Contra is available for purchase January 12.
