Los Campesinos Announce Full UK Tour In March 2012
LOS CAMPESINOS! Announce full UK Tour in March
PRESALE TODAY & TOMORROW: http://www.loscampesinos.com/
ON GENERAL SALE WEDNESDAY 18th JANUARY
"focused, punchy and beautifully poetic" Q 4 stars
"Los Campesinos! could well be a British The National. 'Hello Sadness', goodbye childlike obscurity." NME
"Sundry heartbreak anthems... as they're grown, they've accrued a pleasingly emotional weight." Uncut 4 stars
"Long may true love alude them." The Independent
"it's their most fully-realised effort yet" The Fly
Following the release of Los Campesinos!’s fourth album, Hello Sadness, in November last year on Wichita to an accompanying heap of critical praise, the Cardiff-based band are delighted to announce a full UK jaunt this coming March.
Recorded in Girona, Spain, Hello Sadness is 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. At just ten songs and 40 minutes, Hello Sadness is perhaps the first Los Campesinos! album that sounds lean and pruned, indulgence shorn away and filler ruthlessly excised. The youngsters that made debut You! Me! Dancing! are long gone. The band they’ve grown into, though, are something to fall for all over again. Hold tight for news on a new single in March to coincide with the following dates:
Tue 20 Mar - Exeter, Pheonix
Wed 21 Mar - Bristol, Thekla
Thu 22 Mar - London, Electric Ballroom
Fri 23 Mar - Oxford, O2 Academy2
Sat 24 Mar - Birmingham, Rainbow Warehouse
Mon 26 Mar - Manchester, Academy 3
Tue 27 Mar - Liverpool, O2 Academy2
Wed 28 Mar - Edinburgh, Cabaret Voltaire
Thu 29 Mar, Newcastle, O2 Academy2
Sat 31 Mar - Sheffield, Leadmilll
