I think I know Los Campesinos! because I am familiar with their name. But I believe that is because their name has been on the billing at all the festivals I never make it to. Which ones? I don't know. To quote the effervescent Sarah Palin, "Oh, all of 'em!" But I think a festival with this seven-piece band on its roster is definitely on my Must Have Soon list. Even if it's in Alaska or practically in Russia. Los [...]

The album and follow-up to 2008's ' We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed ' is due out January 26. ' Romance Is Boring ' tracklisting: In Medias Res There Are Listed Buildings Romance Is Boring We've Got Your Back (Documented Minor [...]

Among the dates announced are shows in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Costa Mesa. ' We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed ' is due out October 27. Los Campesinos! Tour [...]
Written by: Jason Evangelho Bratty, spastic, melodic, indie-punk. These are all words I could use to describe Los Campesinos! (roughly translated: The Peasants) - upon a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th listen. The first time I heard them I adopted an instant "deer-in-headlights" expression; probably carried over from my bewildered perception of the ridiculously long, tongue-in-cheek song title. After hitting play the 2nd time, however, this 7-piece originally from Cardiff, Wales buried their synth-laden hooks into my cranium and refused to let go. This track [...]
El disco We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed de Los Campesinos! salió hace sólo 6 meses pero los adolescentes ya volvieron a hacer música . Esta vez están en el estudio con el productor John Goodmanson . La banda ya comenzó sus primeras sesiones en Stamford, en Connecticut, la semana pasada y ahora tendrán que parar por un tiempo porque comenzarán un tour que los mantendrá ocupados por un buen tiempo.

It's been a pretty amazing year for music around the UK, and following on from my top 10 of 2007 , here is my top 10 of 2008. 10 - Viva Stereo - Roar Lion Roar You've probably not heard much about this Scottish collective. However, their third album was a surprise favourite for me - anthemic, accessible, slightly My Bloody Valentine and yet still so gorgeous. Read more about Viva Stereo here . Favourite: Knee High Boots . [...]
One of my favorite new bands to come up this year is definitely Los Campesinos. With their high energy songs and offbeat style they won me over big time upon first hearing Hold on Now, Youngster... , and then subsequently really added to it with a truly awesome show last May at the Empty Bottle . They are one of my favorite bands right now as their combination of punk rock sensibilities, clever/ironic lyrics and high energy performances is tough to match nowadays. Right before turkey day they dropped a new "album", for lack [...]
I love Los Campesinos! and not just for their energetic, emotionally wrought blend of spunky, Cardiff-tinged pop music. Oh no, I love them for their dedication to their fans. The fact that they released two, exceptional albums in less than year, choosing to forgo the diva dilly-dallying so many popular hipster bands indulge in these days. I love their very obvious love of the whole music making thing, the live performances, the traveling, the camraderie between bands - it just seems that this chaps and ladies from Wales just love the shit out of the whole process. And seriously, it [...]
Los Campesinos! are set to embark on a tour of the US early next year. The jaunt, in support of their forthcoming album ' We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed ', is set to kick off January 15 in Baltimore, MD. ' We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed ' is due out November 25. Los Campesinos! Tour dates: Baltimore, MD Ottobar (January 15) Carrboro, NC Cat's [...]
ALBUM: Los Campesinos! - We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed words: Jamie Milton Sometimes it's an achievement to boast about - to be able to release more than one album in a year, to resist the temptation of sitting back and opening the cigars whilst the royalties arrive in their masses. But it's been proven that some things are worsened when rushed; handwriting, Tottenham Hotspur's growth as a bidding football giant, the Pigeon Detectives' second album as a particular example. Musically, good things tend to take time. But when you have [...]
Jackie les estuvo hablando sobre la inclusión de un documental en DVD hecho por los mismos integrantes de Los Campesinos! con el lanzamiento del disco, We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed . Ahora los chicos del grupo lanzaron un video donde se muestra un avance de lo que podremos ver en la grabación. La verdad es que si el documental va a ser todo como en el avance que les dejé arriba, va a dejar bastante que desear. Pero todavía no hay que sacar conclusiones. Esperemos a que [...]
LYRICS OF THE WEEK By the light of the LED display of the VCR recorder You kiss my neck, I whisper in your ear: "This is my downfall" As you squint and you grimace We both know your heart's not in it In the glow of a thousand fireflies In a travelodge en-suite Don't think the future's bright as halogen [...]
En Cuchara Sónica te estuvimos manteniendo informado sobre el nuevo disco de Los Campesinos! , We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed , donde los chicos de Reino Unido nos presentan 10 nuevas, indies y alternativas canciones que nos harán mover a todos. A mes y medio de que salga oficialmente la nueva producción, en internet ya podemos disfrutar de ella (como siempre). Este es el tracklist del disco que pueden bajar desde Jamin78 : Ways to Make It Through the Wall [...]
El septeto indie pop de Cardiff, Los Campesinos! , están a poco menos de 2 meses (13 octubre) de sacar su segundo LP, We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed . De las sesiones de estudio de este material, produjeron "How I Taught Myself to Scream" . Básicamente, este track no tuvo cabida en este álbum por lo que lo liberaron de forma gratuita. Oyéndola, podríamos pensar que el sonido áspero de las guitarras de esta canción será la constante que llevará el nuevo álbum, o de lo contrario, también podríamos [...]
This typically Los Campesinos! titled song isn't from their upcoming album, it's an outtake from their debut. That fact alone must cement their reputation as the UK's most productive band and the song isn't even bad! It's more punkish, more abrasive and generally more hyperactive than anything off 'Hold on now, Youngster' which is saying a lot. There are plenty of time and tempo changes throughout. Maddeningly disorganised shifts in melody and instrumentation, from grinding guitars to melodic serene violins. And through all the mayhem they just seem to make it work . [...]
Boy, this sure is a bombshell that BVaz informed me of last night: On August 1, Los Campesinos! announced that they are set to release their second album...and second album of this year on October 14. Titled We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed , their website news states that the album will be a 10 track affair. Strangely enough, we haven't reviewed Hold On Now, Youngster... on this here site, but it's an excellent record. I think BVaz likes it a little more than me, but we both agree that it is really [...]
Having only released their debut album five month ago, Los Campesinos! have already finished their sophomore album and are set to release it. ' We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed ', the follow-up to ' Hold On Now, Youngster ', which was released earlier this year, is set for releases October 13 in the UK. No word on a U.S. release date. The sophomore album was originally intended to be an EP but was later extended to ten tracks. ' We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed ' was recorded in Seattle with producer [...]
A soli 5 mesi dalla pubblicazione di "Hold on now, youngsters", i Los Campesinos hanno annunciato l'imminente uscita del secondo album, una mossa che fa molto anni 70 quando un gruppo produceva due o anche tre album in un anno. Il nuovo album si chiamerà "We are beautiful, we are doomed" e uscirà il 13 di ottobre. La band di Cardiff assicura che non si tratta di b-side e scarti messi insieme a caso, ma di 10 canzoni nuove scritte per l'occasione. Occasione che doveva essere un Ep, che è però cresciuto fino a diventare [...]
En el 2007 Los Campesinos! nos contagiaron su pop enérgico con canciones como "We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives" y la grandiosa "You! Me! Dancing!" (ambos tracks incluidos en el Sticking Fingers into Sockets EP). Después, a principios de este año lanzaron su esperado primer LP llamado Hold on Now, Youngster... que, la verdad no defraudó a nadie. Pues parece ser que el grupo inglés no se cansa ya que ahora preparan la salida de su nuevo álbum en ¡este mismo año! We Are Beautiful, We [...]
Los Campesinos! have already delivered one of my album's of 2008...and it looks like they could deliver two! The Welsh group plan to release their sophomore effort - We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed - via Wichita on October the 13th in the UK. Hold On Now, Youngster! was only released on February the 13th. So we're talking sub-Arctic Monkeys or even Kings of Leon speeds here and the band have declared it's no post album B-side cash in: ""It's no B-Sides and rarities or 'songs that weren't [...]
