Summary: We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed
Comment: We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed was originally recorded as a collection of songs intended to be used as b-sides for future single releases. Turns out that these musicians are just so damn talented that the set of ten songs ended up being every bit as good as the material on their debut record, released only seven months earlier in April. As shocked as I am that a young band like this can put out two excellent records in the same year, I am moreso pleased to see that 2008 has been the year of bands deciding that they don't think 3-4 four years between releases is an ok timetable, at least if one is to believe the press. Anyhow, I digress.
Los Campesinos! is probably the most blisteringly enjoyable band that has come onto the indie scene in the last few years. Their songs are effortlessly cool, clever, and fun. Their trademark style revolves around blazing guitars, blistering drumming, and scathingly witty lyrical diatribes. I personally see Los Campesinos! as the modern-day evolution of the punk movement of the late '70s, taking the DIY aesthetic of those albums and turning it into something undeniably fun. This is an album that simply must be heard to understand, and it's something that virtually anybody should be able to get behind.

US only CD/DVD version. The latter features a documentary of Los Campesinos! at the Oya Festival and Summer Sonic festival performances in '08. Debut release by the seven-piece ensemble from Cardiff. The album features ten tracks recorded in Seattle June 2008 with John Goodmanson (Blonde Redhead, Sleater-Kinney) and mixed immediately after at Monnow Valley in Wales.
