Los Campesinos! have always made it clear that they are big fans of their fans, so I found it odd that with the announcement of their fourth album Hello Sadness they hadn’t given us a taste of the album. Less than a week later though they’ve made up for that not only with an MP3 of the opening track to Hello Sadness, but a video too – and handwritten lyrics.
In class Campesinos lead-single style the song is ultra-poppy, includes gang vocals and a killer hook. Check out the MP3, video and lyrics below – as well as some new live dates.
