Los Campesinos!
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.

 This has me excited 

Though that’s probably just the mention of them and Andrew WK in the same statement.
