New Los Campesinos! single/video – International Tweexcore Underground

September 28, 2007

While Los Campesinos! are prepping their debut album on Arts and Crafts, the twee poppers have let another single slip out through their myspace page and exceedingly fun music video. The song’s conspicuous title and mock-snobbish pokes at Henry Rollins and Sarah Records show that haven’t strayed from their stated goal of “trying to find the perfect match between pretentions and pop”.

They also are continuing to make great music, and this song ranks up with You!Me!Dancing! (MP3) as my favorite from the band. This song showcases all the eccentric qualities of the band that reminds me of Architecture in Helsinki before they got so serious. The bands size allows them to create a huge wall of sound, a effect that’s improved by looping background vocals and handclaps over the music. Also, you have to give Los Campesinos! credit for bringing glockenspiel back. Download the song and watch the video below.
