Another Form of Relief

Starved for new Los Campesinos! material after playing their four available songs to death repeatedly? I know I certainly am, so you can imagine my joy to get hold of this BBC session that they recorded for Huw Stephens’ show at Maida Vale. Not only do you get two old favourites in ‘Death To Los Campesinos!’ and ‘You! Me! Dancing!’, you also get two brand new recordings.

‘We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives’ is a live staple, so if you’ve been lucky enough to see them live you’ll be somewhat familiar with it. It actually sounds better in it’s current form than when I saw them back in september though, although that might just be the voice of somewhat overjoyed to get new material talking. Secondly, and most interesting of all, we have a cover of ‘Frontwards’, a classic Pavement song from all the way back in 1992. It’s a great version of the song, adding a male-female duelling vocals thing, but I’ll be interested to hear how it goes down with the hardcore Pavement fans.
