Following the monster hit of their self-titled debut, Vampire Weekend return with their smart and adventurous new record, ‘Contra’. The band is known for their unique sound, blending rock, reggae, Afropop and R&B into catchy songs, and ‘Contra’ is no different. The album covers all the bases with funky, synth tracks like ‘White Sky’, frantic pop like ‘Cousins’ and catchy rock songs like ‘Giving Up The Gun’. With its upbeat vibe and colourful charm, it’s like summertime on record. (XL) 4.5/5
