    About this album

    Contra sharpens Vampire Weekend’s literate indie-pop into something more restless, playful and sonically ambitious. Released in 2010, the band’s second album broadened their college-rock sound with electronic textures, clipped rhythms and global references, while keeping Ezra Koenig’s sharp writing at the centre. Songs such as Horchata, Cousins and Giving Up the Gun helped define its appeal, balancing melodic polish with nervous energy and off-kilter detail. The record reached the top of the US Billboard 200 and was widely praised for expanding the band’s palette without losing the brisk intelligence that made their debut stand out.
