My heart needs a love dance

Make XXXX not XXX
Los Campesinos! love exclamation marks, but not as much as You Say Party! We Say Die! love exclamation marks. The two groups recently came together for an exclamation mark-heavy remix of the Twin Peaks-inspired “Laura Palmer’s Prom.” Unlike the dreamscape synths of the original version (which appeared on YSP!WSD!’s awesome third album, XXXX), Los Campesinos! have replaced the backing track with a fuzzy shoegaze arrangement that sounds almost identical to “When You Sleep” by My Bloody Valentine.

XXXX was released in Canada last September via Paper Bag. Next week, the album will finally be issued in the USA.

Back when XXXX was first released, I wrote a cover story on YSP!WSD! for BeatRoute.
