Vampire Weekend debuted their new single from their upcoming album, “Contra”. The single, “Horchata” is reminiscent of their last album and shouldn’t leave any VW fans unsettled. It’s a sweet, warm tune from our favourite educated, preppy boys. The band put it up on their website for a free download to build some hype until January 12th when their full album drops. Enjoy.

Vampire Weekend conversation points:

• The band met while attending Columbia University
• Their manager is also the manager of The White Stripes
