What do you get when you mix one
Ra Ra Riot lead singer with one multi-instrumentalist from
Vampire Weekend? Ra Weekend Ra? Vampire Riot? No...the answer is
Discovery. This is the name that Ra Ra Riot's
Wes Miles and Vampire Weekend's
Rostam Batmanglij have chosen to call their joint side-project, with both members taking obvious steps away from what we have heard in their main bands. They only have two songs up on their myspace page, one a catchy eletro-pop tune called "Osaka Line Loop" and the other a song that could only be classified as hip-hop called "Orange Shirt". Obviously they are looking to experiment with genres that are markedly different from what they have been doing. Apparently, their debut EP is to be released at some point this year so keep your eyes open for it. -
