When Los Campesinos! checked in last month, they offered up “The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future,” an anthemic tale about a far-too-pretty girl taking her “diet” of pills (and not much else) to extremes. As I mentioned then, its accompanying video, situated on Barr Island, went for the true-life aesthetic used to such great effect by the Welsh septet’s past tourmates Girls (as well as Nan Goldin, Ryan Mcginley, etc.). The kids are hanging out by different bodies of water for “These Are Listed Buildings,” aka “the first single to be released from our forthcoming, as yet untitled (as far as you know) album.” The grainy clip was filmed and edited by Aaron Brown and Ben Chappell and features a more plot-driven narrative than last time.

You’ll be able to purchase a “These Are Listed Buildings” 7″ on the band’s current UK tour. It’ll look like this:

    Sounds a LOT like late-90s Superchunk, which is never a bad thing.

  2. More proof that any song Los Campesinos! create, it will be incredibly great!

  3. I have been a fan of these guys since I heard You! Me! Dancing! awhile ago. I hope they stick around

    Another great song from LC! They just keep improving, IMO.

    We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed was much greater than their first album, and there were only what, 8 months between them?

    Between this song and The Sea Is A Great Place, this album could be even better than WAB, WAD.

    Another undeniably catchy song by LC! The video fits the song well, and as a huge fan I love both. However, I do not think they will swoon any new fans with TALB. That being said I don’t know why they don’t have a [much] larger fan base.
