The new Los Campesinos! album “Romance Is Boring” has leaked!
… and it’s brilliant.
It’s not as easily accessible as the first two albums, but it has definitely grown to become my favourite of the three after several listens.
The album sounds darker than the first two. Instruments are more densely layered and the band is definitely making more complex music whilst retaining their signature sound.
There’s a strange yet easily traceable growth from album to album happening here that almost makes each previous entry in their catalogue seem juvenile in comparison to the next.
Of course this could just be me gushing over new songs from my favourite band while the old albums sit exhausted on the shelf, but I really do think these guys are getting better and better.
Highly recommended.
