Vampire Weekend – Cousins Music Video + MP3

28 November 2009, Allan @ 7:02 pm
Vampire Weekend released a music video for the song “Cousins” recently (I’ve been so out of, I can’t tell how recent). Anyway while we were given Horchata, a decent song in my opinion that I actually like, Cousins the 7th track of the band’s January release, Contra is a shorter song but that’s much more fun.

I’m not quite sure how much I like the song, it’s definitely energetic and likely will be a good song to play live. However unlike a lot of Vampire Weekend songs, I’m not sure how memorable this one is. I’m not feeling the verse as I am the guitar work on this one. The length is generally not an issue for a pop band like VW but the truth is the song is over before anything sticks. I don’t think this song impresses non-VW fans or haters.

I’m still a huge fan but honestly, it’s not the greatest song and I’m a little worried that Contra just isn’t going to live up to their great debut album.

Rating: 3 out of 5

Cousins by Vampire Weekend
