The drumming!

I meant to check this album out but never got round to it, this is sounding pretty good so far, though I get what pom is saying about "self-consciously classy".

From my #1 album.

at first the album sounds like a collection of amorphous jams, then it starts to gel; the arrangements are heady without losing sight of the goal. She's a good bandleader.

first track I've heard before! in the voted-for-the-album camp but this is a good choice for an isolated track

Yeah, one thing about this (xp, still on 'Basquiat') is it sort of fades away into cool blandness but then another hook pops up and I'm back to being really engaged with it, it's an interesting trick.

Wow, when I nominated "Parola (Rework)", I didn't really expect it to make it to the top 77! Especially since I haven't seen much discussion here on it, nor the Anna Caragnano & Donato Dozzy album back in 2015. It is beautiful, subliem track and IMO better than anything that was on the album... The album's concept of using nothing but Caragnano's sampled vocals was admirable but ultimately kinda thin, where as this tune especially benefits from Dozzy adding a techno beat to it.

The Singles Jukebox
“Ezra Koenig doesn’t wanna live like this, but he doesn’t wanna die — he understands how these days intellectual curiosity depends on the financial means to satisfy it. So he pays for an iLoveMakonnen sample, strums a chordal pattern reminiscent of “Mrs. Robinson,” and hires Chromeo and Ariel Rechtshaid for an expansive, expensive polish. For the Koenig-led project known as “Vampire Weekend,” in which original members matter less than they used to, hybrid is both method and result. A shimmer of a single, “This Life” works, even if I tire of straight men discovering capital-m-Maturity with a vehemence that would astonish women, queer men, and every phylum in the animal kingdom.” - Alfred Soto
Ezra Koenig putting on “Touch of Grey” drag and quoting Makonnen in order to meditate on his own charmed life should be off-putting, and yet “This Life” is effortlessly charming throughout. Vampire Weekend’s success has always ridden on how the band perched on the borderline between irony and sincerity, aware of both their own ridiculousness and the utter seriousness that even ridiculous non-problems can become laden with from their own subjectivity. “This Life” feels like the unraveling of all of those prior Vampire Weekend songs, eschewing the high drama of a “Hannah Hunt” or “Giving Up the Gun” for a beautifully posed shrug on the way out. - Jacob Sujin Kuppermann

Kasper Marott is great, the best new-to-me thing so far.
KH was on my long list, but I knew it wouldn't need my help. There's a radio edit, JF (in this case, useful).
