It was a joy today to find out that Los Campesinos! have signed to Arts & Crafts for North American releases. The band’s EP is going to be released state-side in July and that makes July a good month in my book (not to mention Harry Potter, Sonic Youth @ the Greek, Daft Punk in LA!, and a new school year…). If you haven’t heard Los Campesinos! yet, they’ve got a few songs on their site to check out, though if you can track down “You! Me! Dancing!” your life will never be the same – there really has never been as good a song about secretly liking to dance even though you know you’re no good at it. Band’s yet to venture to the U.S., though I believe Lollapalooza will be their debut. Expect the hype machine to kick in full gear in the next few months…

Kudos to Arts & Crafts (home of the brave and mighty Broken Social Scene and all the chaos that must entail).
