vampire weekend - 'contramelt b (toy selectah remix)'

This song comes courtesy of my 12 year old today, who has loved this remix for a fair, few years now.

It's certainly a lot darker than their usual fare. It's got a great choral interlude that sounds quite epic, like a David Lean soundtrack.

Last new release of the day from me, I promise. I'll leave you with the new Vampire Weekend video to their single 'Diane Young' and featuring as many of their famous chums as they could fit in. The alumni includes Sky Ferreira, Santigold, Dirty Projectors, P-Thugg et al. 

The song sees a departure from their previous African influences and a move towards honest to God, American rock. I think it suits them.
