Los Campesinos

haha at this whole thread

"I never got my ears pierced, and look how I turned out"

liveblog: im listening to 'We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives' on youtube.

the male vocalist in the verses... ah, are all their songs like this?

except for him, it isn't noticeably worse than other indie records that i have heard.

oh shit though the male vocalist just came back in. gotdamn, dom.

Seriously?

They went 'on hiatus' so N@t could get rid of the people she didn't like. Now they are back.

ok, 'You! Me! Dancing!'

intro much? but at least no vocals yet. i can imagine this going down well in an indie nightclub -- not a recommendation. this is like that curtis thread about bands who use loads of instruments at once -- that tinkly thing yo.

ok fuck this the vocalist is just.... dnw dnw dnw

Would this be the same "people" who in an interview I did with them declared a dislike of... I've said too much.

Also you are all missing the most important factor which is that THE DUDE SINGER LOOKS LIKE GRAHAM.

A 9/10? With the reviewer fighting the impulse to give it 10/10?

What am I missing with this band?

I mean, it's only one review, obv., but the disc is getting pretty good reviews overall, and I just don't get it.

It's you! It's me! And there's dancing!

Yes it's twee indie rock/pop but it's done very well. Love this song.

Four sweaty boys with guitars tell me NOTHING about my life

this lyric always makes me think about the lex

So many threads this could go on....

Are you fucking listening, Pitchfork’s [nabisco] [.]?

He only said "white" three times. Disappointing.

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.
