"There Are Listed Buildings" Released: 2 November 2009
"Romance Is Boring" Released: 15 February 2010
Romance Is Boring is the third studio album by Welsh indie pop band Los Campesinos!, released on 26 January 2010 via Wichita and Arts & Crafts. Produced by John Goodmanson, the album's maximalist production, unconventional structure and particularly demoralising themes marked a departure from the band's previous twee pop sound.
Following the release of their first two studio albums in 2008, Los Campesinos! began an extensive touring circuit across North America as their following grew. They recorded Romance Is Boring in Connecticut and Seattle in early 2009, experimenting with brass instruments for the first time to create a complex soundscape. Frontman Gareth Paisey describes the album as lyrically focusing on "the death and decay of the human body, sex, lost love, mental breakdown, football and, ultimately, that there probably isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel".[1]
Romance Is Boring was preceded by the promotional singles "The Sea Is a Good Place to Think of the Future" in September 2009, and "There Are Listed Buildings" in November. Upon release in January 2010, the record peaked at number 92 on the UK Albums Chart and received widespread critical acclaim, appearing on the annual lists of music publications including DIY and The Line of Best Fit. Four of its tracks would later be reworked on the band's All's Well That Ends EP (2010). Romance Is Boring remains one of the most highly regarded albums in the band's catalogue.
