Los Campesinos! Release 'Hello Sadness' Today

Cardiff-based indie-pop goup Los Campesinos! have announced that they will be releasing their fourth studio album today.

‘Hello Sadness’ is the brand new record from Los Campesinos!, recorded earlier this year in Girona, Spain. ‘Hello Sadness’ is ten songs of love, loss and heartbreak nail-gunned to a back- drop of broken, tangled bodies, creeping, dead-eyed animals, suffocating, looming shadows and World Cup exits.

It is an honest, bare-bones documentation of breaking up and trying not to break up in the process. A record whose complexion changed dramatically when, on the eve of recording, the end of a relationship meant every word that had been penned before had to be rewritten.

“It feels like we’ve done all our growing up while in this band,” says vocalist Gareth Campesinos! “Not like we’re Hanson, or anything. But we’ve been Los Campesinos! since finishing university, and in that time we’ve all changed as people massively. That’s something we want to put across in the music.”

As a result, Hello Sadness is a record made by a band united, all pulling in the same direction with the result being Los Campesinos!’ most lean, direct, coherent, and simultaneously exhilarating and debilitating collection of songs to date.
