Los Campesinos!

Los Campesinos! are a seven-piece indie pop band from Cardiff, Wales, formed in early 2006 at Cardiff University. The band has seen several lineup changes - Gareth Paisey (lead vocals), Neil Turner (guitar) and Tom Bromley (guitar) are the only remaining original members, now joined by Rob Taylor (guitar), Kim Paisey (keyboards, vocals), Matt Fidler (bass guitar) and Jason Adelinia (drums). All replace their surnames with "Campesinos!" as stage names. Influenced by the twee pop movement, the band released their debut studio album, Hold on Now, Youngster..., in February 2008, and followed up with We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed, in October that year. Both receiving favourable reviews by critics, the former was described by Pitchfork as a "giddy, tuneful love note to individuality, pathos – and everything else indie pop built its name on". Their third album, Romance Is Boring (2010), saw the band expanding their "already sizeable instrumental palette". Since then, Los Campesinos! have released three more studio albums and the 2021 compilation Whole Damn Body. All Hell, the band's seventh album and their first since 2017, will be released in July 2024. In 2021, Pitchfork included Los Campesinos! among the 200 most important artists from the site's first 25 years, and described the group as "the 21st century's most endearing cult band."
