The third full-length Los Campesinos! album is due in January, and this is the first video from it, for the song “The Sea Is a Good Place to Think of the Future.” The song is about anorexia, basically, a lament for a girl who goes too far in her quest to be thin – a nice, uplifting topic like most of LC!’s songs. But while their lyrics have always dealt with depressing and bitter topics, that dark side is usually countered by sunny, upbeat, and very poppy music. This time, though, the music is also darker and moodier – something I’ve noticed with the other new songs they’ve been performing live as well. I’m really getting curious to hear the rest of the album when it comes out. Hold On Now Youngster and We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed came out within ten months of each other and sound almost like two discs of the same album; the new one is going to sound very different, I think. The video above was shot by bassist Ellen and her friend Owain – she does most of the behind-the-scenes videography for the band, and this casual, raw and almost candid camera type footage fits the mood of the song very well.
