Los Campesinos! Lose Member, Gain Member

Los Campesinos! were the name on everybody's lips last year after they released two indie-pop records to wild acclaim. They're currently recording and finishing the follow-up to both of last years albums but are also unfortunately losing female member Aleks. On a blog written on their site (which was too long so we cut it a bit) the band said: This is a difficult announcement to have to write, and one we’d have hoped we’d never need to, but it is with a heavy heart we in Los Campesinos! need to announce the forthcoming departure of Aleks Campesinos! from our number.
