Los Campesinos! are back!  Yesterday the Welshmen released the video and a downloadable version of “By Your Hand,” the first track off of their upcoming third album, Hello Sadness. The album title is as blatant as can be, but the upbeat music serves as a perfect silver lining.  Despite a totally downer subject, “By Your Hand” is the bands most pure pop song to-date.  The story of love lost is presented visually through a diptych that ends in total chaos.  Look out for Hello Sadness out on Broken Social Scene’s Arts & Crafts in November and come check them out at the Black Cat shortly thereafter.
