Product Description

This is a 2025 Limited Edition Reissue Repress released as a LP.

Vampire Weekend's second studio album, Contra, is a vibrant and captivating journey through the realms of indie and baroque pop. Released on January 11, 2010, under XL Recordings, this album is a testament to the band's evolving sound and artistic growth. Clocking in at just over 36 minutes, Contra is a concise yet impactful collection of tracks that blend intricate instrumentation with catchy melodies and clever lyrics.

From the infectious opener "Horchata" to the introspective closer "I Think U R A Contra," Vampire Weekend showcases their versatility and knack for crafting memorable songs. Tracks like "Holiday" and "California English" highlight the band's ability to infuse pop sensibilities into their indie rock foundation, while songs such as "Taxi Cab" and "Diplomat's Son" demonstrate their penchant for world music influences and rhythmic complexity. The album's standout single, "Giving Up the Gun," is a perfect example of Vampire Weekend's signature blend of sophistication and accessibility, featuring a memorable riff and a catchy, sing-along chorus.

Contra is a testament to Vampire Weekend's ability to create music that is both intellectually stimulating and undeniably fun. With its rich instrumentation, witty lyrics, and infectious melodies, this album is a must-listen for fans of indie and baroque pop, and a compelling introduction for those new to Vampire Weekend's unique sound.

  • Vinyl Outshines CD

    4 out of 5 stars
    IT5Y17 October 2025United States🇺🇸

    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
    horjuihegqin12 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    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
    ehiruja1 June 2025United States🇺🇸

    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
    bevukpiwory27 April 2025United States🇺🇸

    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
    BooyEDancukugb17 April 2025United States🇺🇸

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