I originally didn't want to hear anything from the new Vampire Weekend album, Contra. Vampire Weekend was the IT band last January when their self-titled debut came out (which I love/loved), but I'm a bit apprehensive of the potential dreaded sophomore slump. While I haven't heard anything besides the song "Horchata" they released last month as a free download and their first single, "Cousins," I am pleased to say I think I will love this album too. That being said, Ezra Koenig and the rest of the VW boys just released the video of Cousins (thanks, Stereogum for the heads-up). The song sounds like classic Vampire Weekend, catchy and infectous, and the video is a fun, self-satirical view of themselves.
Contra comes out January 12,2010 on XL Records.
