Vampire Weekend had one of the best releases of 2008, and now Rostam from Vampire Weekend joins Wes from Ra Ra Riot to form the new band Discovery. The debut titled LP will be released July 7th on XL Recordings.
According to the duo, the album is "partly an attempt to realize
(Wes’s) concept of a band where everyone plays synthesizers, and (Rostam’s concept) an album where handclaps keep the backbeat instead of snare drums. It’s an embrace and also a commentary on the pop music of the past decade, of booming 808 bass and jittery sixteenth note high-hats."
The album features Rostam and Wes each singing half the songs and includes Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend and Angel Deradoorian from Dirty Projectors on guest vocals.
