Supersweet.org - Single Review: Los Campesinos! – ‘Death To Los Campesinos!’

For many an aspiring band, 2006/7 made the MySpace.com dreams of popularity a reality. One of said bands to thrive from the new wave of Web 2.0 DIY independency is Cardiff-based septet Los Campesinos! with this, their third single of euphoria frenzied pop-lucidity, ‘Death To Los Campesinos!’

For the collective, producing such slices of disco hall, glitter ball pop comes with a childlike exuberance of jingles, jangles, chimes and charm. However, the innocence of its pop shimmer is given a shakedown of maturity with its biting lyrical content (“Broken-down like a war economy/Father Führer don’t be mad at me”) at a breakneck pace of vocal ping-pong and rousing harmonies. Result: a sugar coated pill that you want to take time and time again.
