I kinda liked “Cousins,” and have been interested to hear the rest of VW’s second record.

There is a super-handy embed widget that I was hoping I could just pop in here to give you a shot at it, too, but it seems unfriendly with our technical capabilities here.

Drowned in Sound seems to have it worked out, though, so you can hear it there, along with comments from fusty Brit music fans. Always fun.

Typing as I listen, I’m getting flashbacks to Paul Simon’s “Graceland,” and some Dirty Projector-y fetishizing of African guitar, without the desire to venture into left field. Which brings us back to “Graceland.” They haven’t forgotten pop music’s adoration of auto-tune, either.

Check it out.
