With an 80s computer game melody loop which tempts you like a cheeky peek at a Super Mario cheat book, similarity you can’t help but delve into the wonders it then continues to bring. Group sing-along, this band originally formed at Cardiff Uni, mix a combination of Arcade Fire and Vampire Weekend – this is a good thing.
A seven-piece band provides the chorus’ with enough of a vocal wall to encourage steering wheel finger tapping in this perfect driving song.
What seems to be a preferably forgettable memory from school/college, it tells the tale of perhaps unrequited love and how in a perfect moment it could only come together – until she vomits on his rental tux. I’d like to say we’ve all been there; my friend met her now husband by throwing up on his shoes, I kind of hoped it was just some strange Plymothian mating call. Los Campesinos prove me wrong.

Layers of speech and hand-claps greet the final chorus until the cheery loop returns to guide you to the end. A wondrous song which poses a great amount of anticipation for the November album release.
