listened to this again today and it sounded as good as ever

then i was listening to some of romance is boring and it also sounded great
Those are the two that have held up the best, I think. But whenever I put on We Are Beautiful, that one sounds glorious, too. I'm really hoping some younger bands discover them and are inspired by their voraciousness.

between like crying, martha and modern baseball they've already had a pretty good influence imo

how was their album from last year? i've been meaning to check it out (since, uh, last year).

it's really good, their best since Romance is Boring, but it doesn't quite deliver the youthful jolt most people probably expect from this band
― Evan R, Thursday, 22 February 2018 20:55 (six years ago) link
they had a really incredible run with those first three albums

On Saturday October 13th we’ll be playing our biggest ever UK headline show at the O2 Forum, London. MISERABILIA, as we’re calling it, will be unlike any Los Camp! gig before as we’ll be playing two sets, supporting ourselves.
The first set will be made up solely of songs from the above mentioned albums (plus maybe some other tracks from the time…) and then once we’ve towelled down and sprayed on some deodorant we’ll be back out on stage again to play another set, made up of the rest of our catalogue from the past decade of being the UK’s premiere DIY/punk/emo (delete as applicable) band.
😻

We're really excited that you're excited, thank you.AMERICANS - please don't do anything rash and fly over like you say you're going to. We're looking into the affordability of/getting the time off work for US shows. We'll keep you posted...— Los Campesinos! (@LosCampesinos) April 11, 2018

Thanks for the setlist, was also there and it was fantastic.

Goosebumps when they played “...Sooner State”.
― michaellambert, Sunday, 14 October 2018 13:10 (five years ago) link
holy shit
my only suggestion is they should always play “the low”
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Sunday, 14 October 2018 14:14 (five years ago) link
the low and in medias res would have been welcome but honestly the best show i've ever been to.also great was the scalper outside kentish town tube station trying to sell tickets to the peasants
― devvvine, Sunday, 14 October 2018 19:22 (five years ago) link
I was impressed the show was a big enough deal to have bootleg t-shirts on sale outside.
We were discussing it after and despite playing for about 2.5 hrs there were still at least half a dozen big tunes left out.

for once in my life i can say i have valentine's day plans

this is the single. not really romance is boring 2, sounds like they've been listening to like, foxing?
― ufo, Wednesday, 15 May 2024 09:12 (four months ago) link
That makes me excited to check it out. Foxing is exactly what they shoulda been listening to imo! (But also Romance is Boring is my least favorite one so I'm a weirdo)

You’re all in agreement that the police are uselessThey want them emboldened, Baby, you want them bootlessThe punks on the playlist, are crooning for kindnessAsking “why can’t we all just get along?”Me and my friends are sadists, backbreakers for spinelessWish ‘em dead and then we’ll put it in a song

I'm not all that familiar with their earlier music but their new one is the best record I've heard in 2024.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 26 July 2024 00:05 (one month ago) link
for a band yet to record a bad song, it's still a surprise how essential this feels. they've managed grasp a scope and ambition they maybe lost hold of for a little bit.
― devvvine, Friday, 26 July 2024 08:34 (one month ago) link
it's quite good, definitely better than the last, but it's still not on the level of their best material. i'm a bit surprised at how positive the reaction has been overall. might be able to make a case for 'best since romance is boring' though idk yet
― ufo, Friday, 26 July 2024 09:18 (one month ago) link
I know I'm a Bernard Sumner fan at all, but several lyrics had me rolling my eyes.

yeah i'm happy to say this is their best since romance is boring, and their best-produced album
