Los Campesinos! have announced their first album in seven years, All Hell, which follows 2017’s Sick Scenes and arrives July 19 via the band’s own Heart Swells label (pre-order). It was produced by band member Tom Bromley and the album also features contributions from Holly Carpenter on violin, Eileen McDonald Sparks on cello, and Jon Natchez on saxophone. The band says:
All Hell is an album on…
drinking for fun and drinking for misery // adult acne // adult friendship // football // death and dying // love and sex // late-stage capitalism // Orpheus // day dreaming // night terrors // the heart as an organ and as a burden // suburban boredom // Tears of the Kingdom // the punks on the playlist // increments of time // climate apocalypse //
the moon the moon the moon ///It’s All Hell
The first single is “Feast of Tongues,” a suspenseful, energetic, bursting-at-the-seams indie pop song that finds Los Campesinos! sounding as great as ever. Check it out below.
Los Campesinos! are also gearing up for a tour, including an East Coast/Midwest run with Pittsburgh emo/screamo/power pop band Short Fictions and a West Coast run with UK indie-punks Fresh. The East Coast dates include Brooklyn’s Warsaw on June 15. All dates are listed below.
