Vampire Weekend finally released their new CD Contra this past Tuesday. I have been listening to them since their Mansard Roof EP days when their lighthearted bops softened up my cold dark days in Boston. It seems with this album they have finally hit the mainstream. Where as my sister describes them as being just a little too precious, I still find myself enjoying their preppy cute music and the images evoked of boat shoes, plaids and dapper bowties. My favorite song from Contra is Run.
