Did you wake up this morning pining for new Vampire Weekend? Probably not, but I suspect some of you wouldn’t mind some now that I’ve brought it up. Well here it is, a new video for the song “Cousins” off the forthcoming Contra record. If you count Youtube clips of live song performances, I believe this is song 5 off the album that we’ve heard, so enjoy and be just like me and continue to ruin the full album first listen experience. It’s the world we live in I guess.
This comment stream is so meta. Great review Kelly.

no prob. The whole album is excellent, combining some of the harder sonics of Los Angeles with the meat of his debut and obviously difficult to summarize in only 50 words… 
I’d say it’s on par with the debut, but better than Los Angeles.

By the way, I really liked the mp3 posted. Thanks.

WHO WROTE THIS...PUKE ! “WHO WROTE THIS...PUKE ! “Picture yourself coasting your bike past space funk palm trees, homeless harpists, vintage video arcades, electronic drum circles, and 60s psychedelic singers who’re waiting for the bus. Cosmogramma is kinda like that if someone suddenly tripped you just as you’re starting to enjoy the ride. But in a good way.””

i wish i’d checked out this post earlier. i’ve heard this song on the radio a few times and hated every single instance, each time more than the last. now i know who to blame. i like vampire weekend, but man does this song suck. it sounds like the jumpy alterna-pop that was on the radio in the late 90s. and the lyrics are dumb.
now that I have a baby at home, Vampire Weekend is surprisingly more listenable when dancing with my daughter. Well, as long as I earmuff that whole “do you wanna f*ck” bit…
oh noes, josh! I love this. what’s jumpy alterna-pop - like harvey danger?
