Album review: Los Campesinos! - 'Romance Is Boring' (Wichita)
Still baring their souls but now stepping up their sound, they’re niche no longer
If you’ve ever spent a pained afternoon concocting a mixtape that you’ll never send, or an increasingly drunken evening watching the object of your affections resolutely ignore your existence, then chances are Los Campesinos! were the band you’d been waiting to discover for years. Fuelled by brutally honest lyrics laced over wryly uproarious indie-pop, the seven-piece’s first two LPs...

Los Campesinos! - Romance Is Boring Lyrics
Los Campesinos! - The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future Lyrics
I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip
I said, "You've taken the diet too far, you've got to let it slip"
But she's not eating again, she's not eating again
She's not eating again, she's not eating again

Los Campesinos! - There Are Listed Buildings Lyrics
You glug and you glug
Salt water from sandcastle bucket
You glug and you glug
And the tide turns in your stomach, splash your shoes
Los Campesinos! - Heart Swells / 1-1 Lyrics
By now it's just the three of us:
Me.
Your Shadow.
Los Campesinos! - This Is A FlagThere Is No Wind Lyrics
CAN WE ALL PLEASE JUST CALM THE FUCK DOWN!?
An analogy that makes sense to most:
This opportunity had found me unmarked at the far post,

Los Campesinos! - I Warned You: Do Not Make An Enemy Of Me Lyrics
He grows out his stubble just so that he can
Scratch at the sunburn that colored my arm
Civilians read bibles behind glass windows
Is this what constitutes normal behavior?

Los Campesinos! - Straight In At 11 Lyrics
I think we need more post-coital and less post-rock
Feels like the build up takes forever but you never get me off
You pull your dress over your face and I stare down towards my chest
Chastise both our greasy hair, wonder whose gut is the softest
Los Campesinos! - In Medias Res Lyrics
But let's talk about you for a minute with the vomit in your gullet
From a half bottle of vodka that we'd stolen from the optic
In the backseat in your car because it wasn't safe to start it
"You're far too fucked to drive", were the words that you imparted
Los Campesinos! - We've Got Your Back Lyrics
And the dashboard assembled
Descending height order
Half a decade of father's day
It's another thought for another passed on
Los Campesinos! - Coda: A Burn Scar In the Shape Of The Sooner State Lyrics
Run the water 'til it scalds you know that I'm listening
Pitter patter runs the shower hits the bare porcelain
Watch the dirt run down the plughole, hear an echo within
They described you in detail, I knew everything

Los Campesinos! - Romance Is Boring Lyrics
Darling, I'm with St. Bernards
And we're scouring the Alps and the Andes
And if they die then it is on my head
They follow paw prints in the snow to my throne to my bed
Los Campesinos! - Plan A Lyrics
Just like when we were seventeen
We said wed move to Malta, claim nationality
And now that we are twenty-three
Days tethered to the running track

First and foremost,
Let it be said,
I am writing this at 7: 10am,
On the hard dry tarmac of a vacant forecourt.

Los Campesinos! - Who Fell Asleep Lyrics
She turned her back on the church and put all her faith in me at the back of the chapel where I taught her to screw and blaspheme.
We turned our backs to the church,
With our trousers around our knees,
While screaming the scriptures she said I was her favourite heresy.
