Los Campesinos! Announce New Album Sick Scenes, Share New Track: Listen
Los Campesinos! have announced a new album–their first LP since No Blues in 2013. It’s called Sick Scenes, and it’s out February 24 via Wichita Recordings. The band have also shared the album’s lead single “I Broke Up in Amarante.” Check out the track, the album art and tracklist, and Los Campesinos! upcoming tour dates below. In a statement, the band’s frontman Gareth Campesinos! said of the new single:
The song’s about battling with bad mental health, trying to comfort and reason with yourself over something you can’t control. Specifically it’s about how my main coping mechanism was to keep myself constantly drunk in the blistering heat of Amarante while being failed by a largely terrible international football tournament.
