Vampire Weekend producer, keyboardist and arranger, Rostam Batmanglij, also put out music as Rostam. He’s also collaborated with and Ra Ra Riot frontman Wes Miles on a project called Discovery. This particular track is somewhat of a bridge from Vampire Weekend’s sound to that sound of Discovery. This track is incredibly endearing as Rostam breaks from his singing voice and into a more spoken word voice.
Penguin Prison – Golden Train
Pollyester – Concierge d’Amour
Disco from Germany? Yup, and well done to boot. Pollyester is Polina Lapkovskaja (Polly) and Manuel da Coll (Yossarian) from Southern-Germany.
Pollyester – Concierge d’Amour
The second track is much more in the vein of new wave sythpop. Yet again, it’s a very cool and chilled vibe masterfully done.
