Song of the Day: Discovery – Swing TreeDiscovery is the brainchild of Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend and Wesley Miles of Ra Ra Riot – although if I had to guess before I googled, I would have put my money on a collaboration between Regina Spektor and MGMT, with their melding of effortless (and sometimes dolphin sound-esque) lyrics backed by some addictive indietronica.The Panic Manual8 December 2011

Rostam, de Vampire Weekend, presenta “Don’t ..Rostam, además de ser un héroe mítico de la antigua Persia, es el multiinstrumentista de Vampire Weekend y que, además, forma parte del grupo electro-soul llamado Discovery. Este muchacho de 27 años, para decirlo claro y que no le queden dudas a nadie, la tiene clarísima. Suele hacer cosas verdaderamente sorprendentes y no sólo compone y toca muchos instrumentos sino que también produce de una manera bellísima. Hace un tiempo el artista presentó, también a través de su Tumblr, una canción llamada “Wood” y, ahora, llega con algo que, como...Cuchara Sonica3 November 2011

Surfacing: ROSTAMWords: Saam Das Rostam Batmanglij might not be a name familiar to some of you. On the other hand, you might be like "hey, that's guy out of that Vampire Weekend lot". And you'd be right. He seems to be perpetually busy making music either in that band or his other band Discovery or as a "Converse All Star" or producing others. He's unveiled a couple of his own tracks lately, which you can listen to below. 'Don't Let It Get To You' is the most recent track, although I use the word "recent" rather loosely ...Keep Hope Inside2 November 2011

Rostam Batmangli “Wood” [SOTD]While enjoying your morning coffee, “Wood,” is a festive track to get your day off right by Rostam Batmangli, one half of Vampire Weekend and Discovery. The soft drumming with Rostam’s nonchalant singing is so, so warm that as he sings “sunlight on your back” imagine yourself in an open field, and let yourself drift into dreams. BAM!

Rostam-WoodRostam Batmanglij, better knows as that guy in Vampire Weekend, has stepped away from his side project (Discovery) and has finally recorded some solo stuff. The song takes a bit for me to get into, but I really appreciate that Rostam is looking to his roots for some inspiration on this one. The folksy persian [...]AWmusic1 October 2011

Rostam – “Wood”Rostam Batmanglij of small band Vampire Weekend has put out new music that also isn’t part of his other side project, Discovery. It’s his own solo stuff and the multi-intrumentalist still has his signature ear for regional sound. The bright, earthy track is offset by his drowsy vocals that make it feel like you’re waking up in a forest on Christmas morning with the only other person you’d want to be there. No word on whether a full album is [...]Quit Mumbling30 September 2011
