 These little farmers have a defect: their not taking themselves seriously is kind of a trademark that... distracts attention from listening.

 In the end, it is very, very fun music well played but not at all suited for closed spaces: it needs the right situation, the mess, the high volume, the high.

Overall, it's fun and well-played but feels like a stepping stone rather than a definitive statement. Discover the energetic charm of Los Campesinos! by listening to their Sticking Fingers Into Sockets EP now!
