Evidently undeterred by the departure of bassist Ellen Campesinos! late last year, Welsh indie pop ensemble Los Campesinos! have announced a new LP. No Blues is out on October 29 through Heart Swells/Turnstile/Wichita Recordings.
The album was recorded this past June in Bethesda, Wales, with John Goodmanson (Sleater-Kinney, Blonde Redhead) and Tom Campesinos! handling production duties.
That's the album cover above and the tracklist below; it includes apparent allusions to the Smiths' "Cementary Gates" ("Cemetery Gaits") and James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man ("A Portrait of the Trequartista as a Young Man").
Scroll to the bottom of the page to hear the triumphant new track "What Death Leaves Behind."
Also below, checkout a pink-themed trailer video for No Blues.
The album will be available on CD or pink heavyweight vinyl with a poster. Pre-orders will receive a digital copy ahead of the official release date. It's available here.
