Los Campesinos! - Hold On Now, Youngster

This indie band from Wales, now signed to Wichita (known as the British home for super-acts like Bright Eyes) has been compared a lot to the Canadian Broken Social Scene, but it shares more with the one-album-wonder Park Ave, maybe more than they themselves even realise. Sweet pop tunes with both male and female vocales make pain and joy from relationships sound so sweet and bitter at the same time.

A mighty fine debut with classics such as 'Don't tell me to do the math' and You! Me! Dancing!' from the previous EP's present, and new songs like 'We are all accelerated readers' and 'This is how you spell' do the trick as well.
