Los Campesinos! have decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day by unveiling the video for their track ‘Songs About Your Girlfriend’.
Valentine’s Day – bah, humbug.
Of all public holidays, Valentine’s Day is probably the easiest to feel alienated by. A festivity organised by the corporations, used by selfish boyfriends and insecure girlfriends to smooth over the cracks of their relationships.
Sound familiar? Los Campesinos! have been there, friend. Check out the video for ‘Songs About Your Girlfriend’ – a seething, alienated look at the business of lust.
