heart swells (los campesinos cover/ daytrotter session)

Charlotte, friend of Los Campesinos! and part of Judy and the Blumes, recently did a cover of the Los Campesinos’ track “Heart Swells/Pacific Daylight Time”. Initially I’m skeptical of covers, but if they are good I embrace them…and Charlotte’s is extremely sweet sounding and impressive. A wonderful minimalist rendition of one of my favorite tracks from We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed.
Charlotte, thank you for sharing with Gareth so that we can all enjoy it:

Los Campesinos!‘ have finished recording their new album, but while we are waiting for new songs we can still get some new recordings (of old songs). On July 3rd Daytrotter released a really wonderful five song session with Los Campesinos! I’m happy to hear these alternate versions, and think the session turned out great…check it out:
