This sophomore album takes all of the notable elements from the group's debut - the preciousness, the borrowing from traditional African music, the happy-go-lucky vocals from Ezra Koenig - and cranks them up even further. Like the first album, Contra was produced by keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij and is the realization of a whole and unique musical vision that sees the band stretching out and adding new textures, instrumentation, and rhythms into their sound.

Primarily recorded in New York with a springtime sojourn to Mexico, Contra feels altogether fresh, joyous, and like nothing else but is immediately recognizable as the sound of Vampire Weekend. 

Check out the band's ode to refreshing Mexican beverages on "Horchata," the auto-tune(!) on "California English," the new wave influence on "Giving Up The Gun," or the slow ballad "I Think Ur A Contra."
