Los Campesinos

But he said paedo upwards of 600.

loooooooooool musical politics

Stars Of Track & Field >>>> The Drugs Don't Work.

It's true though, everyone who likes this band is actually a paedo. No exceptions.

I had a really good zing I was gonna write here, but I'd get a pissy facebook message if I did.

I've not heard a single note by them. I think I like them because Swells doesn't, though. Although I do kind of agree with his statement of Doran's idea - basically "it's 2008 and the world's ending, why are you dressing as a 7-year-old", only I think it ought to be "It's 2008 and the world's ending, we might as well dress as 7-year-olds".

Do it, Dom.

I wonder if Swells/Doran is getting one after Swells slagged off a DiS sponsored tour?

Sounds like someone is super jealous of Nabisco.

(Who wouldn't be? Oreos! Liking which makes you a pederast, too, obvs.)

Momus to thread.

Surprisingly, the second album sounds a lot like the first.

oh shit if this has leaked my day stands still

^This

I just got a copy from my hip indie swinger friend, Don Load.

oh man oh man oh man

i need lyrics but yeah they've still got it

sounds a little rawer but maybe its just unmastered or something

my fav part of this band now (besides gareth duh) is maybe the violin player

seriously though how are they so good

lyrics already up on songmeanings XD

Because late 90s Lamacq indie is the greatest fucking genre ever and they're the only band still doing it these days (whatever bands Gedge and Hayman are playing in to crowds of 20 people nowadays don't count)

Another 40 minutes on this torrent.

i figured you liked them cuz they take the piss out of super serious kooks fans or what have you

for a while i thought i'd get annoyed by how busy the instrumentation is but they just write so many hooks

seems like there's lots of earnest love songs on here

lyrics predictably hilarious and great

And she said, "Tell me darling, do you think we have a future?"
Well, maybe, kinda, pretty sure we do between us
Bring over pictures of your dead pets and relatives
And we'll just say it's over if I don't shed any tears

As if I walked into the room to see my ex-girlfriend
Who by the way, I'm still in love with
Sucking the face of some pretty boy
With my favourite band's most popular song in the background
Is it wrong that I can't decide which bothers me most?
In the forefront of my mind it's the thought
Not of you underneath, but me coming out looking worse

i mean seriously

OTM, sorta. See also: Art Brut.

Art Brut are a little... too much, I think. Art Brut are clearly a band from north of Derby, you get me?

Although Jordy you should check out 1999 indie noisemakers Mo-Ho-Bish-O-Pi who are clearly LC's big influences.

art brut don't write better pop songs than los campesinos!

or as many at least

yeah i will dom

my fav part about LC! is that they have their cake and eat it too. gareth is obv an emo but writes an album where he basically makes fun of ppl who are super serious emo. they write songs about not taking yourself seriously but gareth clearly kind of does? idk, im stumbling here

I mean, they're a _fun_ band. It's like that thread from a few months back, how many bands actually sound like they're enjoying what they're recording? LC have gotta be one of, what, ten bands left who actually sound like they're having a blast.

oh shit if this has leaked my day stands still

hahahaha there is a cd copy of this album somewhere in the huge bin outside my flat. i had to get it out of here asap cuz its presence was grossing me out

this is a weird record kinda! way more gareth heavy with less interplay b/w him and aleksandra, though im okay with it cuz it seems obvious that he went through some shit and decided to write an album about it (in which case should we expect 2 a year?) so the fact that it's not as planned out or intricate as hony (i.e. the way that "this how you spell" morphs into a totally diff song at the second half and basically changes the record) is okay with me. its not as good as hony (though at times i wonder what is) but for a very personal and almost selfish record i'm not mad at it all. and "we are beautiful, we are doomed" and "you'll need those fingers for crossing" stand up with much of the first record.

im still trying to decide if "we kid ourselves there's future in the fucking/ but there is no fucking future" is the corniest or my favorite lyric of all time.

also ^^this

dom can you school me on what he means when he says he'd be tony cascarano circa 1995

Voila!

ha well i googled his name and shit so i know that he's a footballer (lol british thread) but what's the significance of the circa 95 part also why him besides that he was a good soccer player

having barely heard anything by this band before, i am really really liking the album. christ, it moves at about 300 mph (in a good way), full of drama, great shouty bits, etc

i just stumbled upon gareth and tom (one of the guitarists) doing a track by track rundown of the album

http://www.loscampesinos.com/downloads/lc-hony_-_track-by-track.mp3

i can't even tell if this is interesting or not esp cuz gareth did a track by track for DiS

the album meaning HONY

I could feel the riot grrrl assemblage collage kid's (i think its gareth?) jealous gaze as i H&M hoodie danced better than him at a Danananakroyd gig at Cardiff Barfly a coupla weeks ago. Actually, i think its because i was pissed and elbowed him in the neck. Either way i think LC are shit

I can't get past Gareth's voice TBH, which is a shame 'cos the rest of them sound good - reminding me of Broken Social Scene. However, they were excellent live on the Shred Yr Face tour.

"Miserabilia" off the new album is especially aces IMO.

Any band that sings Kenickie lyrics in their live act is fine by me!

I don't think I understand it at all really. Never mind.
