I didn’t ever think I’d hear Vampire Weekend auto-tuned out. Especially since auto-tune died and everything… Alas, auto-tune is very much alive, no, it’s actually thriving in Discovery’s debut LP, called, well LP.
The exciting project features a member of Vampire Weekend (Rostam Batmanglij) and a Ra Ra Riot frontman (Wes Miles) making some nice electro music. In one song, “Carby,” 50% of Vampire Weekend are present when VW vocalist Ezra Koeing joins Miles and Batmanglij in the making of the most danceable Vampire Weekend song you’ll ever hear.
Give “Carby” a listen here.

Oh gawwd.. wtf is up with the auto-tune?! Vampire Weekend aren’t washed up rappers…
Discovery > Passion Pit. just sayin…
fucking good. listening the LP non stop.
NICE! Have you heard the song with Angel from the Dirty Projectors? I saw it at Hype Machine. Figured you’d like it, since you gave DP a 91 yesterday.
this shit sucks!!!! ugh, I was expecting amazingness from 50% of vampire weekend.
this is actually pretty horrible. So far I’ve heard about 4 songs off their album and I only like “Orange Shirt”
I actually like this. It took a few listens, but I like it. It’s really pushing the boundaries. Like Luis said… I never thought I’d hear VW in auto-tune. It’s a pleasant surprise.
Give me a new ra ra riot and vampire weekend record please.
This shit can suck a hard one.
its good shit
the only thing i hate about music is that a bunch of suck shits like you guys have the option of commenting on it. just fucking start your own blog where you can leave this dumb shit… and no one will read it, but hey at least it will be therapy for you.
It’s a perfect summer song, totally danceble to. It’s not a megahit, but will serve its purpose for the next couple of months. Auto-tune is dead to rappers only, others can use it as they wish
dope.
any chance of downloading this song?
Hip-hop or not, auto-tune is so fucking lame!
this shit is awesome, are you guys fucking serious? pull you heads out of your asses. catch your breath and enjoy the music…. a bunch of williamsburg inbreeds … those trust funds are drying up so the bitching couldn’t be louder!
“swing tree” is sooo catchy, i can’t get it out of my head.
yeah actually vampire weekend guy is a washed up rapper. so. . .
nice discovery, help people is one main of invention
wow not only is this genious in the way rostam mixed it the meaning is so ironic that i just want to marry this song. I love anything by vw and cali english and holiday use autotune too. But ezra can sing without it. Its called variety. I love this band so muchhhh
