Video: Los Campesinos - The International Tweexcore Underground
It’s almost as if Los Campesinos! had my checklist of things that make a song great when coming up with their latest single. Sparring boy-girl vocals? Frequent time changes? References to seemingly forgotten twee artists? All present and accounted for.
The song seems to be about a boy who likes twee and a girl who likes hardcore rock, and they come together by combining it to form tweecore? Something like that maybe? I really have no idea, as it’s far too tempting to ignore what the words are actually saying and just shout along with them anyway.
The International Tweexcore Underground will be released this Monday via Wichita Recordings, and will include a cover of Heavenly’s most excellent C is the Heavenly Option as a b-side. Which is the bit I’m most excited about.

Funnily enough, they’re not really my thing at all. That said, I saw them live last night and they were excellent. They put real zip into their live performances.
i don’t particularly like this song, the singers vocals are a bit annoying and over stressed
