The youthful septet from Cardiff, Wales, Los Campesinos! prove they have no shortage of ingenuity, creativity, and most importantly, energy, with their latest release We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed.

Upon the conclusion of the band's extensive North American tour this past spring including a sold out stop to Lee's Palace, Los Campesinos! remained on America's West Coast, in a Seattle studio with producer John Goodmanson (Sleater-Kinney/Blonde Redhead/Bikini Kill) for a two week recording session and returned to Wales to mix at Monnow Valley. From these inspired sessions comes another blast of emphatic, exhilarating pop songs.

In a recent note to their fans the band had this to say: "This is no b-sides, rarities or songs that weren't good enough to be on the album cobbled together with some remixes and field recordings collection. It's all new tracks that none of you have ever heard before. Sure, we considered re-releasing a radio-edit of "You! Me! Dancing!" and trying to get famous, scrape another tour out of that, but our parents unanimously agreed that if we did they would never speak to us again."
