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.

Classixx – I’ll Get You (ft. Jeppe)
Really looking forward to hearing Jeppe Laursen’s own full length, which according to several sources should be on it’s way. Jeppe is on my, oh-my-god I can’t believe I get to work with…, dream list of people I would be over-the-moon to work with. He has such a strong presence with all of the good synth 80’s influences seeping in. For the time being, I will enjoy his previous collaborations like this track from Classixx.
