A new collaboration between one heavy weight indie band member, Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend) and one semi-heavy weight, Wes Miles (Ra Ra Riot) are causing some waves. As my one friend put it, “this discovery album is effen serious”.
The album is called “LP” (clever boys), and is due out on July 7th off of XL. Not only is the album the work of these two indie kids, but some guest vocals are provided by Ezra Koenig, the lead singer of Vampire Weekend and Angel Deradooria from the recently transcended Brooklyn based group, Dirty Projectors.
This is some really fantastic electronic pop melodies. If you were lacking in tunes to jam late night this summer time, don’t fret. Below you can give the songs a test drive on YouTube.

“Osaka Loop Line”
“I Want You Back” (Jackson 5)
