Los Campesinos!

Very nice interview with Gareth here: Band Apart: Los Campesinos! Find Their Place | BlackBook

I had no idea the guy still works at a cemetery.

Also sort of confirms what I said about how Haim weren't joking when they lost their shit on them via Twitter.

 

[lazarus]

Fuck Haim.

[PhilsFan]

Fuck Haim.

Sure.

This is a bit of an oddity. It sounds as if Kim is on lead vocals (I can't even hear Gareth at all), but she's so low in the mix it's like a ghost is singing it.

A shame, because the tune is quite nice; the drums in particular remind me of material on New Order's Technique (the non-dance songs, at least).

 

[cobl04]

Hmm, not sold on that. you're right, the tune is good, but distinctive vocals is part of the reason I love Los Camp! so, and they're buried right down.

I'm trying to pre-order from the site but can't see an add to basket link or anything?! US/UK only?

 

[cobl04]

Unless it's not 7pm yet, wherever they're running it from. I'm going to sleep, if someone happens to grab one for me I'll pay you right back tomorrow!

[gump]

Have they moved to Vermont now?

 

[Danny Boy]

Unless it's not 7pm yet, wherever they're running it from. I'm going to sleep, if someone happens to grab one for me I'll pay you right back tomorrow!

Looks like they are sold out, at least from the US store. I just pre-ordered through Amazon; will see how that works out.

It looks considerably less expensive on Amazon.

 

[Danny Boy]

Problem is I'm not sure I will actually get one.

Kindle A Flame... is previously released. Have had that one for years.

EDIT: I imported it into iTunes in April 2011.

 

[Danny Boy]

Doe to a Deer is previously released as well. 2012 according to my iTunes.

 

[Danny Boy]

 

[cobl04]

Well, on reflection I won't purchase. Nice new song though.

 

[Danny Boy]

Christmas EP is now streaming on Pitchfork Advance.

How is it?

 

[Danny Boy]

It's good. A couple of the songs have been previously released, but it is as I had hoped: LC songs that happen to deal with holiday themes rather than LC playing Christmas standards.

Hope Amazon comes through with my pre-order.

 

[Imperor]

Danny, I got a shipping notice from Amazon last night. You should be good.

 

[Danny Boy]

Thanks. I ordered mine after the LC! website sold out. Still showing as "not yet shipped." Fingers crossed.

 

[gump]

Got mine - Amazon ordered - last night. Haven't played it yet, but will correct this tonight.

 

[Danny Boy]

Just noticed that the live album A Good Night For A Fistfight is available on Bandcamp for "name your own price," so I can finally get this in CD quality.

A Good Night For A Fistfight (Live At Islington Assembly Hall) | Los Campesinos!

I seem to remember this was supposed to come on a bonus CD with their last album? I don't think that CD ever materialized? At least my vinyl copy didn't come with one.

 

[gump]

I think it was just a digital code in the end. I also didn't get the CD with the record.

This is such a great show. I really like this live version of You! Me! Dancing!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It's a good setlist, for sure.

 

[cobl04]

Yeah I got a digital code for it. Fucking love it, it's really terrific. Has all my fav songs from my fav album (Romance is Boring)

 

[gump]

According to their Twitter, they are off to Portugal to record a new album.

Fuck yeah.

 

[iron yuppie]

I was just listening to No Blues the other day and thinking how underappreciated it is.
