Vampire Weekend Prep New Single

Hey, more new Vampire Weekend! Contra, the band's sophomore album, isn't due until January 12, but we've already heard and argued about the leadoff track, "Horchata". And now MBV reports and Vampire Weekend's publicist confirms that the indie-pop all-stars have a new single in the works.
XL will drop the single digitally on November 17 and on 7" on December 15. That's the eye-grabbing cover art above.
The single's A-side is the Contra track "Cousins", and the B-side is "California English Pt. 2". The Contra tracklist includes a song called "California English".
As previously reported, the band will tour California next month, and frontman Ezra Koenig talked to Pitchfork about the new album here.
