Description:Contra by Vampire Weekend, released 7 January 2010, includes the following tracks: "Holiday", "Taxi Cab", "Cousins", "Diplomat's Son" and more. This version of Contra comes as a 1xCD. -
2010 sophomore album from the U.S. Indie Pop band. 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. Features the first single 'Horchata'.
Issued in a standard clear tray jewel case with an all matte cardboard o-card and a 24-page booklet. Recorded in Treefort Studios in Dupmbo, Brooklyn; Topetitud in Mexico City, Mexico; Avatar Studios NYC in Manhattan; Hicks and Joralemon in Brooklyn.
