Vampire Weekend + Ra Ra Riot = Discovery

2009 June 2

discovery-lpWes Miles, the lead singer for Ra Ra Riot, and Rostam Batmanglij, the keyboardist for Vampire Weekend, have teamed up to form an indie pop super group called Discovery.  Their debut album, LP, is set to hit stores July 7th.  For a sample of what’s come check out their first single, “Orange Shirt.”   It sounds more like something you’d hear hear out to the club w/ all your frat buddies, but with a little more class, than something you would hear coming out of the indie kid’s basement.  I’m diggin it, but I’d love to hear what you guys think.  Are you excited to hear the rest of it, or do you wish they had spent this time working on the next Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot albums.
