Los Campesinos!: Hello Sadness (2011)


This is the fourth LP from the band. This band likes to change members. Try to understand this statement., from Wikipedia: 

It is the band's first release to feature new drummer Jason (formerly of The Ghost Frequency) and the first full-length release to feature new members Rob and Kim, who had previously first appeared on the All's Well That Ends EP in 2010. The album is also the group's final release to feature violinist Harriet, who left before the album's release, and bassist Ellen who left the band in December 2012.
Got it? 


Los Campesinos!: We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed (2008)

 


Is this the second album? Is this an EP?

The band initially did not consider We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed to be their second album, instead considering it a mini-album or an "EEP" (Extended EP).By 2017, the band's members had relented to calling it their second album. Frontman Gareth Campesinos explained to Noisey that "I myself get annoyed when long term fans say "Actually, it's an EP," because I want to be able to say that "my band has released six albums" not "my band has released five albums" because it makes us seem like we've been more important for longer."

Whatever the case, I like it. I paid $7 for this record, which is an incredibly good price.
