The last time we heard from the usually energetic and cheerful Los Campesinos(!), we were treated to a slow, somber, almost-spoken narrative about a friend struggling with an eating disorder. As the release of their forthcoming LP, Romance Is Boring nears, Los Campesinos calm our weary hearts and ears with “There Are Listed Buildings” with its unabashedly joyous introduction and its big bag of hooks.

Fluxblog also wrote about Romance Is Boring‘s titular track. You can listen to it there. Romance Is Boring is out on January 26th on Arts & Crafts. You can pre-order the album and get an instant MP3 download at Insound. Listen to “There Are Listed Buildings” below:

their new album is so good. Darker than their previous work, which is a plus in my book. “Listen Buildings” is easily one of my favorite tracks on the album.

I have to admit I was a bit worried after I heard the last song, but this one is really awesome. Can’t wait to download their album.

i hate stupid white boys like vampire weekend and these motherfuckers trying to make other cultures “hip”

los campesinos are the most oppressed and under represented population in latin america. It’s ignorant and arrogant to adopt “campesino” as your name when clearly they are white bread hipster idiots.

cultures are not “hip” they just are. stop appropriating horchata and other shit as your own, stupid white people!
