How are you feeling? Annoyed? Curious? Infatuated? Angry? Such is the nature of this divisive album by Vampire Weekend's keyboardist and Ra Ra Riot's lead singer. If you're not gonna like it, you're not gonna like it.
For whatever you may make of its substance, LP is surprisingly consistent in its tone and approach. That consistency basically means that every song is inconsistent: they get bored with an idea no matter how ridiculous its initial conception may be. There's a radio pop, or at least an indie pop gem, hidden in "Osaka Loop Line," but they make sure to wrestle their way out of it. Ditto the fast-slow-fast-sow lure of "So Insane." "It's Not My Fault" plays the least tricks and holds the strongest footing, resulting in the best expression of this odd collaboration. If you pass the test, be sure to check this song out.
