Everyone's favourite indie pop septet Los Campesinos! are back with a new album, due for release on the 14th November. Hello Sadness has been described by the band as "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." And if that wasn't enough they are offering a free download of the record's lead track By Your Hand, no strings attached.
Unquestionably Los Camp!, By Your Hand certainly whets the appetite for the new album. Perhaps a more understated single than usual, the track is built upon an up-beat keyboard riff which is complemented nicely by Gareth's usual observations on love, loss and longing. Come on, we've all had one of those dates where you've kissed for hours with hands in each other's trousers... Oh, and the last 40 seconds are pretty exciting - you'll know it when you hear it.
Hello Sadness is currently available to pre-order through the Los Campesinos! website with a bunch of amazing exclusives including a how to play... DVD, an exclusive t-shirt, and most exciting a CD of rare and unreleased demos which date back to around the recording of their first LP. They've stated this offer will only be for a limited time so act fast or forever hold your peace. And of course, those Heat Rash subscribers out there can receive a discount too.
