Los Campesinos! - Death To Los Campesinos!

February 18th, 2008 (Wichita)

So the soundtrack to the American teen pregnancy movie Juno is selling by the bucket-load in America, and it could lead to the most unlikely mainstream breakthrough ever. Is Tweecore about to become popular? Los Campesinos! Have already eulogised it in song (see 'The International Tweexcore Underground'), and now they’re back with another nugget of boundless energy, wit and affection. Death to Los Campesinos! skips out of the stereo with all the glee in the world, wide-eyed, mischievous and musically arch as hell, the dual vocals of Gareth Campesinos! and Aleksandra Campesinos! joining the frenzied tempos in a shower of essentially Twee smiles. Oh yes, Tweepop is gaining huge momentum, and if it’s going to sound as clever and rebellious and FUN! as this, you won’t stop it with your hardest frown. NJ
