Quick Brew Review: Los Campesinos! "Romance Is Boring"

Los Campesinos!
Romance Is Boring
Release Date: January 26, 2010
Label: Arts & Crafts/Wichita Recordings

The 3rd album by this Welsh band offers more of their hyperactive power pop, group shouts, and intense lyrics from singer Gareth Campesinos! He's got a lot to say about darker themes this time, but his cheekiness and those hooky choruses help lighten it up. What's different is how musically dense the arrangements are, as if each of the seven members are competing for your attention. It can be a bit overwhelming at times, but certainly never boring.
KEY TRACKS:

Romance Is Boring
