History

Before Batmanglij and Miles found success in the indie rock scene with Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot, respectively, they recorded as the synth-pop duo Discovery in 2005. Their music drew from the sounds of synth-pop and auto-tuned R&B. As Discovery, Batmanglij and Miles began recording an album together in 2006, but the project was left unfinished as Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot began to find chart success. After the release of the debut albums for both Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot, Batmanglij and Miles returned to the studio to complete Discovery's debut album, LP, released in 2009.[1]

gollark: But I mean a lot of the time phones will download a text file and not open it properly.
gollark: Well, in that case, just... serve normal HTML with minimal styling.
gollark: Also, `txt` files look bad on mobile devices and may just try and be downloadinated.
gollark: That.
