New Vampire Weekend: Horchata [mp3]

So yesterday morning I discovered like many on the internets that Vampire Weekend was having some sort of countdown on their website. It was going to wrap up in the mid afternoon. So noon time comes and I’m pumped. 1 pm hits the clock and I get antsy about it. Then a new new job comes across my desk and my day gets swept away with an overload of work. Later in the evening when things settled down I attached my brain back to the feed and discovered…I missed it. Vampire Weekend debuted the first song off of their upcoming album Contra entitled “Horchata“. I’ve had time to listen to it last night and this morning and I’m pleased. It’s not “ground breaking”. It’s not anything spectacular really. It’s just Vampire Weekend doing their thing…with some heavenly production to boot. Check it:

Is it just me or does VW seem to have a lot of one word song names. Probably just me. Contra comes out on January 11 (UK) 12 (US).
