Vampire Weekend have taken to their website to announce the as yet untitled follow-up LP to 2010's Contra. I really enjoyed both Contra and the band's self-titled debut. And I especially liked the way Contra seemingly pre-empted some of the anticipated backlash over the band's success with lines like:
"When the taxi door was opened wide / I pretended I was horrified / by the uniform and gloves outside / the courtyard gate," from "Taxi Cab" and
"Cuz if that Tom's [natural toothpaste] don't work / if it just makes you worse / would you lose all of your faith in the good earth?" from "California English."
The album will be out on May 7th on XL Recordings.
Looks like it will be a fun spring.
