You Have To Hear: Vampire Weekend’s New Songs

See my review of the full album here.

Vampire Weekend are back, and in the leadup to the 2010 release of their new LP ‘Contra’, they have revealed two new songs, Horchata and Cousins. They’re both catchy pop summer tunes; nothing truly special but worth checking out all the same.

Since in the leadup to the release of ‘Contra’ Vampire Weekend’s CD label is being notoriously tough on blogs hosting their new music, instead of embedding an mp3 here on Pluck like usual, I’ll direct you to the band’s official website, which should immediately begin playing the official video of ‘Cousins’. You can then continue to the main website, where you should be able to see a ‘Free Download’ link for Horchata. Check them out!

Edit: The official website is now streaming the entire album, so even more reason to check it out.
