CD Description
Discovery is the recording project of Rostam Batmanglij and Wes Miles, friends who began recording together in the summer of 2005. One year later they had committed themselves to their respective bands, Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot, but nonetheless continued to record together when they both found themselves in the same city.
The project is many things: it's partly an attempt to realize Wes's concept of a band where everyone plays synthesizers, and of Rostam's concept for an album where handclaps keep the backbeat instead of snares drums. It's an embrace and also a commentary on the pop music of the past decade, of booming 808 bass and jittery sixteenth note high-hats; Elements of European electronic dance music skittering in double-time over steady R&B.
If soul music is secularized, sexualized gospel, Discovery is an attempt to see if soul music can survive being plasticized, roboticized, quantized, chopped, and finally, screwed. The album features Rostam and Wes each singing half the songs and guest vocals from Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig (on `Carby') and Dirty Projectors' Angel Deradoorian (`I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend')
Customer Reviews
Discovery have members from Vampire Weekend and their new album is electronica heaven.
Discovery have a very unique electronica sound to their music. They do a cover version of the Michael Jackson song "I Want You Back", which was when he was with the Jackson Five. I love the fact that they do this song because I am a massive Michael Jackson fan and I find it is ironic the song they selected of his. As I feel thats how many fans feel about him, they want him back. The album runs for just over 30 minutes and has a great cool vibe to it. Overall a very good relaxing album which is exciting and fun too. Also this album is very different to the Vampire Weekend album.
