Los Campesinos! have recorded a handful of cover versions as b-sides for their next single, My Year In Lists.
Released on April 21st as the second single from the album Hold On Now, Youngster the A-side is just one minute and forty nine seconds in length.
For the b-sides (formats have still to be decided), the Cardiff collective have covered songs by Deerhoof (The Eyebright Burgler), Bikini Kill (In Accordance To Natural Law) and Casiotone For The Painfully Alone (Yr Boyfriend).
Each of the covers are also less than 60 seconds in length and discussing them, Tom says: "All (the b-sides are) less than a minute long, or "<1" as we've so economically named it. It's a celebration of brevity and transience in pop music: all the best pop songs are short, or short-lived. As are most pop bands' careers. Probably ours too. Damn this ever-hungry web 2.0 generation."
Hold On Now, Youngster... gets its US release on April 1st.
