VAMPIRE WEEKEND ANNOUNCE SECOND ALBUM

vampweekskope2 Almost a year after their self-titled debut, Vampire Weekend will be releasing their much anticipated sophomore release, titled Contra.

If you take a visit to band’s website today, you will be greeted with a large splash announcing the new album. However, if you were hoping for it come out sometime this year, sorry to say that it will be released VERY early next year, on January 12, 2010. No real explanation for the album’s name, wether if it’s related to the video game series or not, but whatever it means in this context, Vamp Weekend thinks “Ur a Contra”.

Tracklist:
01 Horchata
02 White Sky
03 Holiday
04 California English
05 Taxi Cab
06 Run
07 Cousins
08 Giving Up the Gun
09 Diplomat’s Son
10 I Think Ur a Contra

Fans should already be familiar with White Sky. The song has been performed at many of their shows, and even on Jimmy Fallon. Listen to the song below, and check out the album cover.
