The Daily Growl

Here’s some new Los Campesinos! for you. It was new to me anyway. Unless they played it when I saw them at The Spitz back in March, but in any case I can’t quite recall it. The track is Knee Deep at ATP and is apparently an account of a particular love interest had by a member of Los Campesinos! at that festival. So, great festival, good song. You wouldn’t get anyone writing a song about the V festival, would you?

This was played when they were studio guests of Marc Riley on his Brain Surgery show on BBC 6 Music a week or so ago. They also did a live version of You Throw Parties, We Throw Knives.

In other Los Camps news, it sounds like they’ve been recording their new album in Wales. At least that’s what I can discern from their sporadically updated blog. They’ve also had an EP - Sticking Fingers Into Sockets - released by their North American label Arts & Crafts. This contains the songs from the two limited 7 inches that have been put out over here by Wichita plus a couple of other tracks. This (plus any further singles?) should keep us going till the debut album is released early next year.
