“Diplomat’s Son” – Vampire Weekend

Is that a M.I.A. vocal sample I hear?  Vampire Weekend bury “Diplomat’s Son” late in their sophomore release, Contra, but this track is not to be passed over.  Drum machine hits and sampler blips never meshed so well with Vampire Weekend’s relaxing, summer-in-the-Hamptons vibe.  Listen to it at hypem.
