Discovery is a side-project between Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot’s Wes Miles. They have an album coming out July 7th on XL Recordgins (same label as VW) and the music they make together is just as good as the music they’ve made with their respective bands. It sounds a little bit like what you’d expect, softly sung pop vocals with melodies that show the musicianship of those involved. But Discovery contains something that is a little bit more interesting than the pure indiepop thats circling in the stream at this time. The synthlines are not afraid to show their old and cheesy side, and the drums are tamperd with till they are almost unrecognizable as human. “Osaka Loop Line” is a cross between a rave, a gameboy and the good old Paul Simon-infused pop cerca 1987 that we’ve loved since birth. Both songs are really interesting and present a beautiful combination of the two musicians, and well worth a listen. Big things are definitely in store for the duo if they continue with this project.
