'It's no B-Sides and rarities or "songs that weren't good enough to be on the album cobbled together with some remixes and field recordings of Cardiff's indie scene"; it's ten all-new tracks.'

Los Campesinos! are set to release their second album this October, less than a year since their debut.'We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed' is due on October 13th, recorded last month with Wu Tang Clan, Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney producer John Goodmanson.
"We are blessed with having an incredibly supportive record label in Wichita," the band said in a statement. "They are as excited about such freedom, frivolities and spontaneity in releases as we are
"Despite 'Hold On Now, Youngster...' being only 5 or so months old, we wanted to emphasise that this is no post-album cash in.
"It's no B-Sides and rarities or "songs that weren't good enough to be on the album cobbled together with some remixes and field recordings of Cardiff's indie scene"; it's ten all-new tracks that none of you have ever heard before."
The tracklisting for 'We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed' reads:
'Ways To Make It Through The Wall'
'Miserabilia'
'We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed'
'Between An Erupting Earth And An Exploding Sky'
'You'll Need Those Fingers For Crossing '
'It's Never That Easy Though, Is It? (Song For The Other Kurt)'
'The End Of The Asterisk '
'Documented Minor Emotional Breakdown # 1'
'Heart Swells/Pacific Daylight Time'
'All Your Kayfabe Friends'
Possibly equally exciting is mention of, in the bands own words; "a tour featuring the best line-up to grace these shores since the NME one with Andrew WK!"
We are officially excited.
