My original post deleted it’s self, so here is another try.
Los Campesinos! who had one of the best songs of last year (pitchfork said so, duh) are back with a brand new song that will be off their album We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed. It will be their 2nd album in the year and it you can definitely expect another fast paced frantic rock album. I mean these guys are working hard for it, would you expect anthing less? The song ‘We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed’ is getting a solid reception for sounding more like the band did on its early EP’s. I am all for it. This song provides an enjoyable listen. There are 3 other songs on their myspace as well that will be on the upcoming album.
Their latest album will be hard to find though. If you don’t get it right away, it may be out of print. Read what the band had to say on their website:
WE ARE BEAUTIFUL, WE ARE DOOMED
– 27th October sees the release of what the majority of you have decided to call our ‘second’ ‘album’. Not that we ever have mind you.
– There will be no singles released from this RECORD.
– This RELEASE is going to be limited. There will be one, worldwide run of CDs, and then it will be out of print. Done with.
-The package comes in a 14cm by 19cm by 2.5cm two-piece card box. That makes it rectangular in shape.
– The CD will be accompanied by a self-made DVD documentary of our weekend at Oya festival and SummerSonic in August of this year.
– It also includes a 30+ page ‘zine, including the record’s lyrics and contributions by artists including Xiu Xiu, Grandaddy, Tender Forever, Menomena, Parenthetical Girls and Paul Heaton, based around the title ‘We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed’.
– Also each box comes with an exclusive poster drawn for us by Jeffrey Brown.Pre-order We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed HERE!
