Vampire Weekend + Ra Ra Riot = Discovery = Amazing
What happens when you combine two of my favorite current bands? A little thing called Discovery.
Rostam Batmanglij from Vampire Weekend has teamed up with Wes Miles from Ra Ra Riot (which you should know by now I love) to form the POWER DUO. Too soon to call them a power duo? Maybe, but seriously, listen to this. It's great.
They have three tracks on their MySpace now, one being a new version of Ra Ra Riot's "Can You Tell" renamed "Can You Discover." From the MySpace you can also tell that the two have an EP in the works, so we'll be sure to update you as more substantial information surfaces.
I can only assume Batmanglij is doing a majority (if not all) of the producing while Miles mans the vocals. The result is really fun and I'm interested to see if they switch on occasion. It's like Usher meets Cadence Weapon beats, but coming from the guys from Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot.
Postal Service eat your heart out.
