Los Campesinos! drummer and founding member Ollie has left the band.He doesn't really explain why, but in a statement posted on the band's blog he says: "It is with very sad regret that I have to announce that I, Ollie Campesinos!, have parted company with Los Campesinos!.
When we first started this band we never expected in a million years that three years down the line we would have done and achieved all the things that we have. It’s been an amazing experience and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
I want to thank everyone that we have ever worked with. Without your hard work we wouldn’t have done all these things. Thank you to every band I have ever had the privilege of playing with. I have made some really great friends.
But most importantly I want to thank every one of you that has ever taken any time to take interest in us. Whether it’s coming to a gig, buying a record or merely reading my food reviews. If it weren’t for you guys and gals we would have faded out a long time ago."
You can read the full thing over here, though to be honest that's pretty much it - apart from the cafe he's sat in doing good cake.
Last year keyboardist Aleks also left the band, to be replaced by Kim, so she could concentrate on her studies.
