• Not a band to rest on their laurels, this is the fourth album from Los Campesinos! in the four years since they signed to Wichita.
• Undoubtedly their strongest recordings to date, this is the first album to feature new drummer Jason Campesinos! and the first album on which Kim has taken over lead female vocal duties.
• ‘Hello Sadness’ is a record made by a band united, all pulling in the same direction with the result being their most lean, direct, coherent and simultaneously exhilarating and debilitating collection of songs to date.
• They returned to the studio with the producer of their previous two records, John Goodmanson (Death Cab For Cutie, Blonde Redhead, Sleater-Kinney, Wu Tang Clan).
• The CD + DVD package is a limited edition (600 copies) in a 6 panel digipack. The DVD includes a 30 minute ‘making of’ documentary, a funny ‘How To Play’ featurette starring Tom and Neil from the band teaching you how to play ‘Songs About Your Girlfriend’, and a blooper reel of extra studio footage.
• LP is 180g vinyl in gatefold sleeve and it includes the 16 page CD booklet and digital download code. Limited to 500 copies.
