The new cut “Cousins” from Vampire Weekend’s upcoming album Contra is a frantic frenzy of jaunt. It’s a short burst of energy, coming in at two and a half minutes, with those California influences Ezra Koenig has cited in the abundance of interviews. Dick Dale would be proud if he heard those ripping surf rock guitar lines.
Contra is out on 1/12.
