Always news to brighten up a new year, we are promised a new Los Campesinos! record in 2017.

So mark February 24 in your diary, for that is the release date for Sick Scenes. The announcement came last November alongside the release of lead track I Broke Up In Amarante, of which frontman Gareth says: "The song’s about battling with bad mental health, trying to comfort and reason with yourself over something you can’t control. Specifically it’s about how my main coping mechanism was to keep myself constantly drunk in the blistering heat of Amarante while being failed by a largely terrible international football tournament."
