Hello Sadness is the name of Los Campesinos! new album, and the title track/first single. Today the band released a stream of the song on Pitchfork. It’s another opened armed epic that you shouldn’t miss.
Last month we heard the wonderful “By Your Hand”, so “Hello Sadness” makes the band 2/2 so far. Let’s hope the rest of the album is this consistently solid.
Here’s what lead singer Gareth had to say about “Hello Sadness”:
‘Hello Sadness’ is a song of longing, it’s a hand that once held and felt, but now claws and grasps at your own chest. The impressions love leaves, the bleaching caused by someone else’s light and what remains when they’ve left.
Hello Sadness will be released November 15 via Arts & Crafts. Pre-order it from the band, here.
