I really dig these guys and have been waiting patiently for Contra. I may have to look into this "leaking" of the album. Hmmm...

I guess the "rock edge" part wasn't exactly what I meant...
I generally like music that is a little more "Rootsy." Music that is derived from the worlds of rock, blues, jazz, funk, hip hop, bluegrass and even country... Most of the music I like has evolved in one way or another from these genera's...
Vampire Weekend feels more pop to me then anything else… Its very light, and doesn’t have a great deal of soul… That is the same way I feel about mainstream emo of the 2000’s…. It is pop music disguised. Light, fluffy, and all on the surface… Emo is disgused as punk, but is really pop... VW is disguised as indie (I guess), but it is really pop... May not be a great comparison, but my feelings toward each are relatively the same.
