Ra Ra Riot + Vampire Weekend = Discovery

Members of esthetic twins Ra Ra Riot and Vampire Weekend have teamed up to form Discovery. A sort of M.Gaye by way of neon-futuristic Japan . Both these songs rock, just waiting for the whole EP to drop.

Love the orchestral pop from Scotland's Camera Obscura... New album is My Maudlin Career. Great melodies, and perfect doses of cynicism and romance. Not to mention strings for days.. Try these..
