Los Campesinos! have announced their new album, All Hell, out July 19th via their own Heart Swells record label. As a preview, they’ve unveiled the first single, titled “Feast of Tongues.” Stream it below.
All Hell was recorded between October 2023 and February 2024 in Frome and Cardi, with production from Los Campesinos! member Tom Bromley. Besides the band’s lineup of Gareth David (vocals), Jason Adelinia (drums), Kim Paisey (keys/vocals), Matt Fidler (bass), Neil Turner (guitar), Rob Taylor (keys/percussion), and Bromley (lead guitar), the album features contributions from Holly Carpenter on violin, Eileen McDonald Sparks on cello, and Jon Natchez on saxophone.

Milo Ferreira-Hayes engineered the project, with additional engineering by Gareth Bodman, and mixing and mastering by Andrei Eremi. See the album’s artwork — done by Rob Taylor — below along with the full tracklist. Pre-orders are ongoing.
“Feast of Tongues” opens with a chorus of “oooohs” accompanied by Carpenter and Sparks’ strings before David’s emotive vocals come to the forefront. “She says the body is keeping score, lost in sudden death, she can’t take it no more,” he sings. “And if laughter’s the medicine we need, then this misery is therapy.”
Los Campesinos! have lined up a North American tour in support of the album featuring stops in Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more. See the full schedule below, and get tickets here.
All Hell marks the follow-up to 2017’s Sick Scenes. In 2021, they released Whole Damn Body, an EP compilation of songs recorded during the sessions for their 2011 album, Hello Sadness.
