Indie Rockers LOS CAMPESINOS! Share Lead Single “I Broke Up In Amarante” from New Album ‘Sick Scenes’

Los Campesinos! are streaming the song “I Broke Up In Amarante” off their forthcoming, just-announced sixth album, Sick Scenes. Sick Scenes features 11 new tracks and is due to be released worldwide on February 24, 2017 via via Wichita Recordings.

Along with the album announcement, the group has also shared plans for both December 2016 UK shows as well as late winter 2017 three week tour of North America, including their first West Coast shows in over five years.

On the writing of the follow up to the band’s 2013 album No Blues, lead guitarist Tom said:

“This was the longest the band had gone without releasing any music. That was for a whole bunch of reasons, but I also deliberately tried to resist putting ideas together for as long as possible so I could feel excited about writing again. I was touring with Perfume Genius in 2015 and I think a combination of long van rides listening to music with too much time to (over)think, as well as getting to play guitar on PG’s beautiful and weird, affecting songs every night got me all excited about working on ideas again. So halfway through the tour we had a fortnight off in Seattle where I put together all the ideas I’d been collecting and started the process of a new album.”
