Product description

Vampire Weekend's sophomore album, Contra, is a masterful blend of indie and baroque pop, released on 11 January 2010 through XL Recordings. This 36-minute gem boasts a diverse tracklist, featuring the likes of 'Horchata', 'White Sky', and 'Holiday', which showcase the band's unique ability to craft infectious, upbeat melodies.

With 'California English' and 'Taxi Cab', Vampire Weekend demonstrate their capacity for experimentation, while 'Run' and 'Cousins' highlight their knack for creating catchy, sing-along choruses. The album also features more subdued moments, such as 'Giving Up the Gun' and 'Diplomat's Son', which exhibit the band's versatility and depth. The album closes with 'I Think Ur A Contra', a thought-provoking track that leaves a lasting impression on the listener.

Contra is a testament to Vampire Weekend's innovative spirit and their ability to push the boundaries of their genre. With its eclectic mix of styles and themes, this album is sure to delight fans of indie and baroque pop alike, and cement Vampire Weekend's reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative bands of their generation.

  • Vinyl Outshines CD

    4 out of 5 stars
    IT5YOctober 17, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Wow, this version really outshines the CD, I must say I'm genuinely surprised given it's not some fancy audiophile release. The overall sound is so much richer, and it's way less harsh (like, Horchata doesn't have those painful bits anymore).

  • Easy to Understand, Sounds Great

    5 out of 5 stars
    horjuihegqinSeptember 12, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Super easy to understand. It was pretty dusty, but after a quick wipe down, it sounds almost flawless.

  • Outstanding Crystal Clear Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    ehirujaJune 1, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Couldn't agree more - this is an outstanding pressing, crystal clear with fantastic separation and dead quiet!!

  • Audio Great, Vinyl Flawed

    3 out of 5 stars
    bevukpiworyApril 27, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    The audio mix is fantastic but the vinyl pressing is quite poor. There's tons of surface noise. It was a real bargain so I'm not upset, but the pressing should've been way better because the tracks are worth it.

  • Top-Notch Mastering

    5 out of 5 stars
    BooyEDancukugbApril 17, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Amazing pressing all around. Top-notch mastering and dynamics. Super clean pressing too.
