Los Campesinos!' second album, "We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed," offers a more focused, albeit still chaotic, collection of indie pop anthems. It captures the band refining their maximalist tendencies and lyrical anxieties.
- "We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed" was self-released on the band's own Heart Swells label.
- The album was recorded over two weeks in early 2008 with producer John Goodmanson.
- Despite its critical reception, the album did not chart on the UK Albums Chart.
Cardiff, Wales' Los Campesinos! emerged in the mid-2000s as a key act in the "twee-as-fuck" indie pop scene. At the time of "We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed," they were following up their debut and solidifying their energetic, wordy sound.
