Sick Scenes

Los Campesinos!

Hyper-literate indie rock that pairs frantic guitar work with communal shouting. A dense, self-deprecating record for those aging out of their own idealism.

It's like a football riot happened inside a library and everyone started shouting about their antidepressants.

A defiant and restless exploration of aging that balances sharp cynicism with communal warmth.

Hung Empty
Moments Worth Waiting For
the explosive transition from the jittery guitar riff to the massive group-shouted chorus of Renato Dall’Ara (2008)
the way the frantic pace of 5 Flucloxacillin suddenly gives way to a lush, harmonized bridge about humility and victory
the final minute of Hung Empty where the instrumentation swells into a cathartic, noisy resolution that feels like a hard-won exhale
