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 [...]

Los Campesinos! - We are Beautiful, We are Doomed (Arts & Crafts) -- A glockenspiel in a guitar band? Freshens up the sound, they think. And they're right --
I just ordered a copy of the new Los Campesinos album, "We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed"! I can't wait for it to come in, lord knows I've written about them a time or two . I can't get enough of this group and if you're wise, you'll either go see them live and/or order your copy as well! Hop to it! While I'm waiting for permission to post some new stuff, enjoy this video and peep the details of their latest release after the jump! [...]
Oh, Los Campesinos! , why do you have to be so awesome? My undying love is no secret, and the more I think about it, the better you get. Take this cat week, for example. In the video for "Death To Los Campesinos!" everything stereotypically twee is present: rainbows, confetti, balloons, unicorns, and adorable kittens! Hooray! But not content to leave everything as simply a Lisa Frank themed birthday party, dudes flip it into something much more sinister and fun. I [...]
Oh! My! Goodness! Los Campesinos! are in Portland tonight! In honor of their appearance, I present you with a smattering of my favorite lyrics from these kids who really shouldn't be able to write lyrics this well: -"You said 'send me stationary to make me horny'/so I always write you letters in multicolors/decorating envelopes for foreplay" -"The trails on your skin spoke more to me than the reams and reams of half finished novels you'd leave lying all over the place/and every quotation that'd dribble from your mouth [...]
Great new track from Hold On Now, Youngster performed live in studio... See more MJTV video Listen to Musical Justice
23 Los Campesinos - Death To Los Campesinos!
Cardiff, Wales band Los Campesinos! have an album called Hold On Now, Youngster coming out in the United States on April 1st via Canadian label Arts & Crafts ( though it already came out in Europe ). That's around the time they'll also be coming back to the United States for a full tour that includes 3 NYC-area dates. Those visiting SXSW in March will have at least three chances to see them even sooner. All tour dates and a new video for a new song, below.... Death To Los Campesinos! [...]
Ze klinken als een opgefokte Arcade Fire in de achtbaan: De zevenkoppige band Los Campesinos!(inclusief uitroepteken) uit Cardiff, Wales. De ultra hippe indie-nerds hebben dit aparte gezelschap al in de armen gesloten en met de vrolijke singles 'You! Me! Dancing!' en 'Death to Los Campesinos!' is dat zeer begrijpelijk. Er komt een hoop op je af, maar dan heb je ook wat. "It's you! It's me! And there's dancing! " Het optreden van deze gasten op London Calling schijnt trouwens geweldig geweest te zijn. Lowlands dan maar doen? ...

Los Campesinos! are a 7 piece outfit from Cardiff, Wales who are releasing their first full length Hold On Now, Youngster… on Arts And Crafts here in North America on April 1st. (digital download available this week via Wichita Records February 25th) I guess the most obvious comparison for Los Campesinos! would be to Tilly And The Wall (minus the tap dancing). They are fun, they scream, they shout, they’re cute and when the mood hits them, they break out the xylophone to kick you in the [...]

Now the Devil has not been a big fan of the NME over the past couple of years. From the avoidable spat with Morrissey to the enduring obsession with self appointed "indie" celebrity non entities such as Amy Shitehouse and Lilly Allen; from the decline into an inkie Smash Hits to the seemingly endless promotion of sub standard childrens daytime pop acts such as Kate Nash and Jack Penate; from the dumbing down of journalistic standards (read review and interviews from the 70s and 80s and compare them to today [...]
Lorsque la pop punk acidulé de Los Campesinos résonne dans tes oreilles, tu n'as pas vraiment d'autres choix que de sourire à pleines dents, hocher la tête vigoureusement et d'osciller du bassin tel un champion de hulla hoop. Et ça fait drolement du bien. Après un album démo en 2006 et un EP en 2007, voilà [...]
Depois do espectacular EP lançado no ano passado (o melhor EP que saiu em 2007, na minha opinião), 'Sticking Fingers Into Sockets', depois de alguns brilhantes singles editados, depois de tanta música boa que Los Campesinos! fabricaram, sairá no próximo dia 18 Fev '08 mais um single (e o álbum nunca mais chega...): "Death to Los Campesinos!" [MP3 cortesia de Styeiles através do blog Neiles Life]
That was the video for "Death To Los Campesinos!" by Los Campesinos, which has been on the greater Internet area for over a month, which in turn makes us somewhat behind on posting it. Whatever, we were out living our lives. The video is great though, and it is truly their Best Song Ever™, so good on them for being putting it out. One thing though: 1. Gareth's hair looks about 1000 times more amazing than it did in 2007.
, the full-length debut from Los Campesinos! comes to light on February 25th. In the meantime - hey, look, a video! For "Death to Los Campesinos!"! And there's confetti and balloons and kittens ...
, released originally in 1996 in pursuit of what would ultimately be double-platinum sales, will be given a fancypants new ...
