this is incredible. i love how the two parts come together, and it’s all just really beautifully done. i’m really excited about the single and the b-side and everything, i need to make sure i pre-order this.

MatthewJanuary 18th, 2010 at 11:56 pm

Awesome picture!

EdJanuary 19th, 2010 at 12:09 am

Insane and brilliant. Wow :)

JacJanuary 19th, 2010 at 12:12 am

I’d buy LC beer, great video. <3

JedJanuary 19th, 2010 at 12:34 am

Preeeeeettty, preeeeettttty, preeettty good video. I would also buy LC! beer. Seriously, please make a Los Campesinos! branded beer. Frank Zappa did it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagunitas_Brewing_Company)

You know, there’s very not much that makes me squeal anymore, let alone smile from ear to ear. But this, yeah, this does it. This made my next three days.

JaybyJanuary 19th, 2010 at 1:03 am

Beautiful

ShannonJanuary 19th, 2010 at 1:38 am

That was amazing! First the album stream and then this! Best week ever!

JeskaJanuary 19th, 2010 at 5:11 am

I want to watch this so much but my school’s internet is making it near impossible :( hopefully tomorrow this will work!

JeskaJanuary 19th, 2010 at 5:43 am

Oh glorious victory I got it to work! A++, would watch again :)

DrewJanuary 19th, 2010 at 5:49 am

Bake Phallic Cake! I love it!

Not directly the kind of video I’d expect from you guys. I mean that in a good way. It’s BRILLIANT! I love how all the movements of the characters go so well with the sounds in the music (especially Gareth sighing and the girl blowing out the candles in the end).

OlliBJanuary 19th, 2010 at 10:17 am

Ace. Dead excited for ‘Too Many Flesh Suppers’, too. Going to go and put a pre-order in right about…now.

FannyJanuary 19th, 2010 at 1:26 pm

Great video! I really enjoyed it.

BrendanJanuary 19th, 2010 at 2:28 pm

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?

BrendanJanuary 19th, 2010 at 2:29 pm

interesting.

JoshJanuary 19th, 2010 at 2:35 pm

I am so confused!

Mainly why that guy looked like Johnny Drama.

Great single.

JoshJanuary 19th, 2010 at 2:36 pm

Also, any information on where to buy digital or is it still too early?

maudieJanuary 19th, 2010 at 3:14 pm

i totally wish my first instinct was right, and that WAS stacey soloman.

Justin LeonJanuary 19th, 2010 at 5:32 pm

I would buy a Keg of LC beer

SarahJanuary 19th, 2010 at 5:48 pm

AWESUM.

EricJanuary 19th, 2010 at 5:57 pm

I’m guessing you love Pitchfork’s description accompanying the video. Twee brigade. heh.

AnnaJanuary 19th, 2010 at 6:12 pm

@maudie I totally thought it was Stacey Solomon too for the first couple of seconds! Awesome video but I do kinda wish that you guys featured in some way.

VeeeJanuary 19th, 2010 at 6:56 pm

LC beer for sale please!
great video-colours kinda remind me of David La Chapelle’s work and also a bit of Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun. You never cease to surprise me poeple :) x

HeinoJanuary 19th, 2010 at 7:15 pm

wundervoll! Will see u in hamburg :)

DrewJanuary 19th, 2010 at 7:19 pm

I like the song a lot it goes well with There are listed buildings. But the music video did not impress me too much. I like when the members of LC! are in the videos themselves, like Death to Los Campesinos! and My year in lists.

StephenJanuary 19th, 2010 at 7:25 pm

Wow, that song is brilliant! The video was so surreal. Now I can’t wait for my birthday, bring on the 15th! =D I want a Mills and Boon Los Campesinos book! =0

James WalkerJanuary 19th, 2010 at 8:35 pm

i wouldn’t give the person i loathe to credit of having a song that good

SamuelJanuary 19th, 2010 at 11:39 pm

Ha, nice vid. Love the nacho libre style wrestling nod, presumably of Gareth’s insistence? Big Ray Mysterio fan?

brianJanuary 20th, 2010 at 12:34 am

I love you guys probably more than anyone, but that video (minus the LC! beer) is lame-city.

Lee BJanuary 20th, 2010 at 1:00 am

VERY interesting…i just love the song title

VictoriaJanuary 20th, 2010 at 9:20 am

Completely brilliant. I loved it. The video was extremely insane and weird but that’s why I love it so much :) Plus, I totally want the LC beer and the book. <3

JONNYJanuary 20th, 2010 at 6:08 pm

Well, that was insane amounts of awesome!

maudieJanuary 20th, 2010 at 6:16 pm

WIN for getting miss lauren laverne to ask if it was stacey. made my day. loved the idea of you guys shouting to each other on the train too.

Kyle from TXJanuary 20th, 2010 at 11:00 pm

I’m not sure I like this one nearly as much as the There Are Listed Buildings one.

TessJanuary 22nd, 2010 at 3:59 am

Those sure are some dainty panties.

Ben CJanuary 22nd, 2010 at 3:32 pm

Spinechillingly awesome, especially the last minute. Amazing.

SamuelJanuary 22nd, 2010 at 8:45 pm

I just noticed I said nacho libre instead of lucha libre and now feel terrible. Jack Black is a horrible actor and Mexican wrestling is the nuts and doesn’t deserve that fat cock. Or something.

LaikaJanuary 24th, 2010 at 11:49 pm

Great song, not quite sure the video does it justice unfortunately. Would definitely buy LC! beer, mind.

JamieJanuary 27th, 2010 at 3:10 am

Hi guys. Really looking forward to the new record. Haven’t streemed it or d/l it yet. I’m tolerant enough to wait.

Honestly though, as much as I really enjoy you, this is going to be a feckin’ killer year for music. Already the Four Tet, Knife, and Beach House records are stunning. As a central Scotsman I hate that description but it’s apt.

Anyway, well looking forward to it. Enjoy 2010 guys. Play safe ;) Spread the love. Eat well. Excercise. Watch Skins.

[...] Look at Los Campesinos!, for example. As their career progressed, I’ve experienced unbridled, novel, joy (their first, dazzling, frantic releases); anxiety at their bratty teenage years (when the once-fun Tweecore sound became grating); and finally, most recently, joy and pride again as maturation has arrived in the form of their new, brilliant, single, Romance Is Boring.
