ROSTAM - Wood by ROSTAM

Let's face it. Ezra Koenig has it all. Tons of alt bitches, entry-level alts with posters of him up in their rooms, and tons of entry-level alts tweeting at him every minute of the day. When a frontman has so much, you can't help but think there are some toxic vibes within the band. We've seen a similar scenario with Animal Collective. It is s0 0bvi that Panda Bear and Avey Tare really only 'stay together for the kids' [via having children and needing to fund their private school educations].

Rostam Batmanglij seems to have 'gone solo' and released this new MP3 'Wood' to prove that he 'wears the pants' in Vampy Weeks. The song rides Persian-folk waves, but also vibes 2 some meaningful indie vibes, resulting in the early frontrunner for the #1 Persian influenced song of 2k11.
