Hello Sadness

by Los Campesinos!

Hello Sadness cover art

Recorded in Girona, Spain with producer John Goodmanson, the Cardiff ensemble's fourth album explores a more somber and orchestrally-informed brand of indie pop. The arrangements prioritize vocal counterpoint and intricate string sections that support Gareth Paisey’s introspective narratives on romantic dissolution and existential fatigue. It represents a significant reflective moment in the band's career, prioritizing emotional clarity over the frantic energy of earlier works.
