Posted August 31, 201113 yr http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqswjgFe371qch259.jpg I know we have a few LC! fans here. :D Los Campesinos has revealed news of a new LP. It is titled ‘ Hello Sadness’ and will be released on November 14th through Wichita in the UK and Arts and Crafts in North America. The ten-song album was recorded in Girona, Spain and produced by John Goodmanson, who also worked on the 2 previous LP’s by the band. Gareth Campesinos! said of the upcoming album “It feels like we’ve done all our growing up while in this band. Not like we’re Hanson, or anything. But we’ve been Los Campesinos! since finishing university, and in that time we’ve all changed as people massively. That’s something we want to put across in the music.” In more Los Camp! news, violinist Harriet Campesinos! is leaving the band to go back to school. Her final appearances with the band will take place at Bestival on Isle of Wight on September 10 and in Budapest on September 16.

August 31, 201113 yr Blimey, they get through albums bloody quickly! Hopefully it'll be better than their last.
August 31, 201113 yr Author Blimey, they get through albums bloody quickly! Hopefully it'll be better than their last. "Romance Is Boring" ? I really liked it, especially "The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future".
September 1, 201113 yr Romance Is Boring is probably my favourite of theirs! I'm not one for sombre music anymore so I hope it doesn't live up to it's title. Light Leaves, Dark Sees proves that they can do brilliant and uplifting music without going back to twee, so I'm hoping part II and others are of a similar tone. But EXCITEMENT excite yes.
September 1, 201113 yr "Romance Is Boring" ? I really liked it, especially "The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future". I've actually lost track on the amount of times I agree with you but I absolutely ADORE said song, probably my favourite of theirs ever.
September 1, 201113 yr I've actually lost track on the amount of times I agree with you but I absolutely ADORE said song, probably my favourite of theirs ever. Same, absolutely superb track. I'm looking forward to the album, but I can't help thinking that their albums would be better if they released fewer of them, further apart.
September 8, 201113 yr _ku_ZMPJ5M0 I just DON'T know if I like it or not yet. The video has an odd pseudo-Xiu Xiu vibe and it always feels surreal when I see a new video of theirs because they seem to change so much! I'm only listening over some shitty speakers but I can't hear a trace of violin. Harriet still will be replaced, right?! Edited September 8, 201113 yr by Harve
September 8, 201113 yr Video is SO Xiu Xiu. Not surprising considering they're huge fans of theirssss. Song is catchy.
September 8, 201113 yr "Romance Is Boring" ? I really liked it, especially "The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future". Yeah I didn't really like it at all. The two singles were just terrible rehashes of their more energetic songs from their debut and the rest of the album just blended into one really.
September 8, 201113 yr On first listen I LOVE this! To be honest I haven't really followed them since We Are Beautiful We Are Doomed but this sounds totally different and probably as close as they will ever come to a smash hit (which means B-list on Radio 2, and a #63 peak, but the album will go top 10).
September 8, 201113 yr Given their previous album peak is #72 (with their debut) I highly doubt they'd ever get anywhere near the top 10 or playlisted on a major radio station. :(
September 8, 201113 yr Author This is good on first listen! Btw, people can download it for FREE here: http://www.loscampesinos.com/wheat/by-your...oad-tour-dates/ (Click on the artwork).
September 12, 201113 yr Love 'By Your Hand'. I was shamefully late downloading it but since i've had it it's been played practically non-stop. Very much excited to hear the rest of the album now.
November 17, 201113 yr Author Here's the video to the title track "Hello Sadness" which I think will be the second single. -V5SiMKkZrs
