(Modern Vampires of the City) is their simplest and most adventurous album so far: witty but self-doubting, bubbling with optimism yet plumbing darker depths, more experimental but boasting some of their most straightforward songs yet. Identifiably Vampire Weekend, but bigger. Braver. Better.
Their debut is amazing. I haven't yet got into Contra. If this is getting as good reviews as VW, they could become one of my top 10 favorite bands.
Contra > Vampire Weekend for me. Horchata remains untouched as one of their best songs. I want another breezy and building song like this on the new album! Nonetheless, even more excited for it now after seeing those reviews!

Contra is an amazing album. Horchata & Giving Up the Gun are PERFECT.
