this song is GREAT

WE WILL FLOWER AGAIN

holy fuck. What a song. John Goodmanson's production on this is just incredible.

Why must I lie awake, from dusk until the morning, through fear of bein' impaled upon errant mattress spring?
Within a waking dream I finally made my heel turn, lived life as Super 8 when you were promised Hilton
Propose me as a pardon for sins, led on barbecue I'm burnt offerings
I proof-read the Book of Job for the Lord: edit one, League Cup 2004
We, delicate as a filigree, cleared a place for us in the chicory
Colosseum blood will dry in the sun (is it true...?)

GOAT

Why must I lie awake, from dusk until the morning, through fear of bein' impaled upon errant mattress spring?

Avocado, Baby > Picasso, Baby

is this their optimistic album?

those big thwacking snares on this are so good

i already like this better than anything on the previous record

nah, by your hand still holds up really well

3. A Portrait Of The Trequartista As A Young Man

this is like the ur-campesinos song title right here

all goosebumps-ed out from this song. Love love love.

this fucking band is going to make me reopen my Livejournal account

this song is really, really good

"by your hand" is awesome though yeah. "to tundra" off the last joint is one of their best songs ever too.

Hello Sadness was good enough, only OK, but I'll forever love it for lowering my expectations enough that I could be surprised and delighted by this new one. I didn't think the band had the wow factor left in them anymore.

HOLY FUCK COLOUR ME EXCITED

all of the above especially the love for to tundra and the fact that most of hello sadness wasn't as mediocre as many of us older fans felt but that after some realllllly high quality heat rash singles and this i am v psyched for this record

Is there a way to hear those Heat Rash singles? I would happily shell out money for them; it was dumb of me not to subscribe.

not to my knowledge although if you email gareth at askheatrash or the official los camp account maybe he'd send you the mp3s for paypal?

if not (or if so?) send me an email

the heat rash singles were great, but so was the tiptoe through the true bits b side they released for free through the blog and the christmas single which i don't think was a heat rash exclusive last year? doe to a deer iirc.

Heat Rash / Non Album Stuff:

Kindle a Flame in Her Heart / The Holly and the Ivy (December 2010)
Heat Rash #1: Light Leaves, Dark Sees / Four Seasons
Heat Rash #2: Dreams Don't Become You / I Love You (But You're Boring)
A Doe to a Deer (December 2012)
Heat Rash #3: Allez Les Blues / Dumb Luck
Heat Rash #4: She Crows (Documented Minor Emotional Breakdown #4) / To the Boneyard
Tiptoe Through the True Bits

Heat Rash #2 is covers and they're ok but not vital. #1 was good but not mindblowing. #3 and #4 are some of my favourite songs from that era of LC! and Doe to a Deer / Tiptoe are A+ wonderful.

Super helpful! Thanks!

All of three and four are on youtube:

aw i dont think i received hr#4

a heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy / that's why they call me the avocado, baby

press copy? i haven't gotten my preorder yet.

There aren't many albums lined up for the rest of the year that I'm looking forward to (at least not ones with hard release dates), so I'm trying to lower my hopes for this album, because right now they're probably way too high

yeah gareth sent me the album

i haven't had a chance to listen to it much yet unfortunately but it sounds really good..."glue me" is my favorite i think

Outstanding album

This might be a Top 10 of the year for me. Really enjoying it. Every song is so tight and compact.

Download link sent out to pre-orderers about 10 mins ago.

no blues indeed.

gareth might have not had his heartbroken in a while.

This is streaming on Pitchfork advance now

people laugh they will call it folly
but we connected like a yeboah volley

leave with all the dignity
of missed Panenka penalty

anybody else get the free download code for the A Good Night for a Fistfight live album? it's immediately telling me the code is not valid. wondering if anyone else had this problem.

This is excellent.

lol

Being from the states I don't know what anything in that article is or means, but it all seems awful. Just awful.

New album coming, new single:

https://soundcloud.com/los-campesinos/i-broke-up-in-amarante

i am enjoying the new album from unpopular beat combo los campesinos!

Same. I wish Americans had a greater appetite for self-loathing and football metaphors. They weren't even able to tour here on the last one!

I really like 'Sick Scenes' too. Currently on a US tour, aren't they?
