About This Track

Multi-instrumentalist/producer Rostam Batmangli said: “This is the first Vampire Weekend song with acoustic guitar. At one point I wanted to rent a Kora to play the parts I was hearing in my head for the end. Even though this song is dark it ends in a place that’s celebratory and cathartic. I used an 8-bit keyboard from the ’80s to sample my own voice to create a bed of vocals.” (Source I Think Ur a Contra Songfacts)

    I want Ezra to know that he wrote an exact moment in my life that occurred from February 2010 to April 2010 and that I love him. There is no way that this song could ever be boring. How did you write a song that literally describes everything that the CONTRA I knew exactly is? "Never pick sides, never choose between two, but I just wanted you, I just wanted you. I think UR A CONTRA!" Thank you Ezra. For this.
