Vampire Weekend + Ra Ra Riot = Discovery
Discovery, the collabo project of Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot’s Wes Miles, hits the old school electro-pop soft spot in my brain. With special appearances by fellow Weekender, Ezra Koenig, and Angel Deradoorian from Dirty Projectors–who we are glad to hear are doing ok– how can you resist bopping around to the debut while basking in some rooftop sunshine.
Auto-tune + a Jackson 5 cover = yes, please!?
Ok, so maybe I’m desperate for the summer to actually start, but I’m feeling this!
Download “Orange Shirt”, the first single off of the July 7th release of LP (yep, another ironically titled album y’all), and tell me you aren’t mistaking it for a lo-fi Passion Pit jam– and that’s not a bad thing. Although, I have to admit, this might be the album I’ll want to never hear again after a few wild summer nights. Just saying…
