Contra is Vampire Weekend's 2010 second album, a more sonically adventurous follow-up to their debut, incorporating dancehall rhythms, Auto-Tune, and electronic production alongside the band's established preppy indie-pop foundation. “Cousins” and “Giving Up the Gun” showed a band willing to expand well beyond the Afropop-influenced sound of their debut without losing their melodic core. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, the band's first chart-topping release and a significant commercial validation of their genre-hopping ambitions.
