Apparently Los Campesinos! have finally broken onto the Billboard charts with their new album Romance is Boring.
I've had a soft spot for them since their first album, and I'm still not sure I like their (relatively) more mature and less-tongue-in-cheek sound. To be fair, I'm liking what I hear, but it takes a while with them. Anyways, here's the title track.
Fans will probably be divided. On the one hand, the more cohesive sound shows that they're developing musically while holding on to their strengths such as Gareth's hilarious lyrics and tempered cacophony.
Then again, I thought the almost ironic immaturity of their first two albums was what lent them their charm. Here's a great early track of theirs, and the first I heard.
