They're hoping for a Sept release date, but in the meantime there's apparently an Ezra/Rostam/Ra Ra Riot dude side project - http://stereogum.com/archives/mp3/vampire-weekenders-prepping-second-album-side-proj_066112.html

the two songs i've heard are really good - sounded too demo-y so i hope the actual LP sounds professionally produced

to elaborate on my earlier point, if they're gonna try and do white boy r&b they need to make it sound like modern r&b and not like they did it one of their bedrooms - i think rostam could totally do that too if he wanted

based on the sound quality b/w the VW cd-r and the actual album
these are mastered versions apparently

"orange shirt" is really great

yeah i agree, i think the sound quality's pretty good tho? might need to re-listen
― just sayin, Thursday, 21 May 2009 10:27 (seventeen years ago)
yeah the ones in that link sound fine to me

The whole Discovery album is absolutely fantastic. I'm not a big VW fan but this is much more to my tastes.
