I declined ‘cause I decided that I
Do not believe in the new year anymore
And you must confess that at times like these
Hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness
And I accept that it’s time for a change but not in
Places like this with people like these
Los Campesinos!

Reasons Los Campesinos! is the best band ever

Hello Sadness is our imminent fourth studio album, recorded earlier this year in Girona, Spain.

Hello Sadness is ten songs of love, loss and heartbreak nail-gunned to a back-drop of broken, tangled bodies, creeping, dead-eyed animals, suffocating, looming shadows and World Cup exits. It is an honest, bare bones documentation of breaking up and trying not to break up in the process. Hello Sadness.

And I always get confused, because in supermarkets they turn the lights off when they want you to leave, but in discos they turn them on. And it’s always sad to go, but it’s never that sad, because there’s only so many places you’re guaranteed of getting a hug when you leave. And then on the way home, it always seems like a good idea to go paddling in the fountain, and that’s because it IS a good idea. And were just like, how Rousseau depicts man in the state of nature: We’re undeveloped, we’re ignorant, we’re stupid, but we’re happy.
