Second Major Lazer album to feature Vampire Weekend
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 15 October 2010
Diplo has revealed that he and fellow producer Switch are “about half way” through recording their second album as Major Lazer, and announced the impressive list of guests involved, which include Vampire Weekend, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Lykke Li.
Speaking to Interview, Diplo said: “It’s a pretty random selection – top-form dancehall guests; Vybz Kartel, Bugle, Timberlee. Also, Vampire Weekend, Lykke Li, and Santigold. Then we have some classic fellas like Lee Perry and Junior Murvin. It’s like reggae is the vehicle, but we really live in this Major Lazer post-apocalypse world where all these artists don’t seem strange together”.
