VAMPIRE WEEKEND Contra (2010 UK 10-track vinyl LP - Some bands stay in a holding pattern their whole careers. Others jerk the steering wheel hard and fly off the road. On their second album, Vampire Weekend do neither. Or maybe they do both. ' Contra' pulls off a series of impressive feats: It's bustling with fresh ideas and yet it sounds immediately familiar; it's heavily layered but taut and kinetic; it chews ravenously through sound palettes and rhythms, and yet it's nimble and assured; it's still breezy, and yet it smolders with a new found emotional heft. The songs are catchy, fast, twinkling, clattering – the darker themes of loss, doubt and regret accumulate almost imperceptibly, but they land a powerful blow. Includes the single, 'Horchata'. Picture sleeve. The sleeve displays just a little minor shelfwear and the vinyl shows only one or two cosmetic paper marks and little sign of play XLLP429)
