Vampire Weekend at The Fox Theater
Wednesday, Apr 17 7:00p
to
11:30p
Historic Fox Theater
Oakland,
CA
Some bands stay in a holding pattern their whole careers. Others jerk the steering wheel hard and fly off the road. On Vampire Weekend's second album they did neither. Or maybe they did both. Contra pulls off a series of impressive feats: It's bustling with fresh ideas, and yet it sounds immediately familiar; it's heavily layered but taut and kinetic; it chews ravenously through sound palettes and rhythms, and yet it's nimble and assured; it's still breezy, and yet it smolders.
