Reviews"It retains all of the band's sunny key elements: clean electric guitars, buoyant keyboards and poppy African rhythms...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Brainy, confident and generally awesome....The drums are bigger, the guitars are faster, and the songs are outfitted with synth beats and hip-hop, reggae and electro accents.", Ranked #13 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums of 2010" -- "Clever and catchy songs loaded with Clash allusions.", "CONTRA opener 'Horchata' displays a caliber of pop songcraft and melodic intuition that gives The Shins' James Mercer a run for his harmony...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With its melodic beauty, orchestral invention, rhythmic subtlety and metaphysical wit -- it's still unmistakably Vampire Weekend.", "CONTRA is more fully formed, a '70s-style record-type record. It's their version of the Talking Heads' MORE SONGS ABOUT BUILDINGS AND FOOD..."

Additional InformationContra makes the global sound local, mixing baile funk, ska, and electronics into the band's sweet Afro-indie pop.
