We’ve been expecting this announcement for a little while now, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still really excited. Los Campesinos!’s new album will be called Hello Sadness and comes out through Arts & Crafts on November 15th.
If you’ve been following their progress in Spain then you know that they recorded the album in Spain earlier this year, but it seems that sunny atmosphere has not made it through into their disposition on this album. The album is described 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.” Sounds like it’s going to be fantastic.
The album is already up for pre-order here, as well as a bunch of new Hello Sadness-related merchandise. Check out the album’s track list below and a live performance of new song “The Black bird, The Dark Slope.”
