Discovery is the musical product of Vampire Weekend keyboardist, Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot frontman, Wes Miles. This new electro-dance-pop outfit has little in common with their respective origin bands, but it sure does get you moving.

“Despite your potential first inclinations, this electro-dance outfit doesn’t appear to be The Postal Service reincarnated. Rather, it’s sounds more like these guys unabashedly donned their top-siders and sweaters in the club, rubbing shoulders with Jamie Foxx”
The LP drops officially on July 7th, but for now you can sample a few tracks below:
