The six new tracks won't be available on any streaming platforms Los Campesinos! have released a deluxe edition of their new album ‘All Hell’, but it won’t be available on streaming, and you only have until Thursday to buy it. Following their self-released seventh studio album dropping on Friday (July 19), the Welsh indie-pop group have already shared a deluxe version with fans. Coined ‘More Hell’, the new version features the full album alongside five reworked versions of the new tracks, offering a more delicate, stripped-back take.
There’s also a cover of ‘Wait’ by Secret Stars, which was popularised by Death Cab For Cutie in 2000. In an Instagram post announcing the deluxe, guitarist Tom Bromley wrote: “I know it’s self-indulgent, but I love the strings on this record, and I love the sax, and I love all the intimate details that can get lost in a fuller arrangement, and stripping the songs back to these skeletal versions allows all those elements and great musicians to come to the front.” He continued: “It wasn’t part of the plan, but it became clear that the original vocal performances no longer made sense when presented this way, nor the guitars, so we quickly re-recorded these in a day in Cardiff, and now I love them too.
” The extended version of ‘All Hell’ won’t be available on streaming platforms, however, and will only be listed on Bandcamp until this Thursday (July 25). You can buy it here . A post shared by Los Campesinos! (@loscampesinos) In 2021, NME watched Los Campesinos! perform live to celebrate a decade since they shared their fourth album ‘Hello Sadness’ .
“The Welsh indie-pop outfit deliver a rousing tribute to their back catalogue, and the future is looking bright,” the four-star review read. Last year, the band shared that they wanted to commission writers as a way to continue to foster their fanbase community . “Our recent experiences are that very few outlets will cover our band anymore (no hard feelings, I get it!).
But we want to continue to foster this community outside of social media, and it seems we’ve an ever-growing fanbase that want to hear about our band,” they wrote on social media. They also made a point to highlight that they plan to pay writers “well and on time, to publish in-depth pieces to be enjoyed by fans, outside of the restrictive ‘album cycle’ PR pattern.”.
