October 26, 2009

Los Campesinos! have announced details of their new album 'Romance Is Boring'.

Due on February 1st 2010 the album will be the first new album from the band since 2008's two releases 'Hold On Now Youngster' and 'We Are Beautiful. We Are Doomed'.

Two new tracks have been aired from the album so far. The free download 'The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future' and a new single 'There Are Listed Buildings'.

Speaking of 'Romance Is Dead' the band say “It is a record about the death and decay of the human body, sex, lost love, mental breakdown, football and, ultimately, that there probably isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel."

The album features Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu and Zac Pennington from Parenthetical Girls.
