Vampire Weekend - Cousins

This is Vampire Weekend’s follow-up single to “Morchata” and their debut video off of their forthcoming album, Contra. It’s feverish-paced, almost surf rock-inspired music, and the video matches that electricity. The band members are captured on a steady-cam as they zip up and down a single track in a city alley. It’s a wonderful and simple conceit which heightens the effects of the song. Contra is due for worldwide release on January 11th, 2010.
