The 'Cousins' single, released in November 2009, served as a preview of the more experimental sounds Vampire Weekend would explore on their second album.
- The single was released as a double A-side with 'Orchard Woman'.
- The song was recorded during the sessions for Vampire Weekend's second album, 'Contra'.
- 'Cousins' was noted for its frenetic energy and angular guitar riffs, a departure from the more polished sound of their debut.
