Los Campesinos! Announce We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed Album
Published Friday, 1st August, 2008 at 10:13 AM
Los Campesinos! are to release a brand new album before the year ends, just a few months since they released their debut record 'Hold On Now, Youngster...'.
The new LP is named 'We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed' and will be will released on October 13th. Ten brand new tracks appear, as recorded in Seattle from June 12-23rd of this year with John Goodmanson (Blonde Redhead, Sleater-Kinney) and mixed immediately after at Monnow Valley in Wales.
Los Campesinos! are quick to point out that the swift release of a new album is not a cash-in: "It's no B-Sides and rarities or "songs that weren't good enough to be on the album cobbled together with some remixes and field recordings of Cardiff's indie scene"; it's ten all-new tracks that none of you have ever heard before." Say the band.
"Sure, we considered re-releasing a radio-edit of 'You! Me! Dancing!' and trying to get famous and scraping another tour out of that, but our parents unanimously agreed that if we did they would never speak to us again."
"Rather, we are blessed with having an incredibly supportive record label in Wichita, and they are as excited about such freedom, frivolities and spontaneity in releases as we are."
