AGCS CHRISTMAS CALENDAR: 9th December

“On the sixteenth day I opened up the window, found a lump of coal and rammed it down my stupid, greedy throat…”

Who else could it be but Los Campesinos! with their brand spanking new Christmas song, released to coincide with today’s very exiting “HEAT RASH” announcement. Suffice to say, it was worth the wait, and I’m looking forward to owning my lovely LC! ‘zines and limited edition 7”s. For the meantime there’s Kindle A Flame In Her Heart, a song which manages to be simultaneously catchy and jarring. Gareth sings in a lower register than usual and after getting used to Aleks, replacement Kim’s vocals can at first be a bit jarring; give it time though (or ten listens in a row if you’re me) and the shock of the new will be overcome through the sheer power of the song’s awesomeness. I dunno if I mentioned this in any of my last ten Los Campesinos! posts, but GOD, I I LOVE THIS BAND!
