Keeping Some Dark Secrets

News about the forthcoming Los Campesinos! full-length and attendant touring has circumnavigated the Internets numerous times at this point, and we don’t have much to add regarding the Feb. 18 release of Hold On Now, Youngster… save for the fact that Birmingham, England-based indie superheroes Johnny Foreigner will support some if not all of the recenty posted February tour dates. Speaking of Johnny Foreigner, the band just posted a map of its Birmingham digs annotated with commentary about the places noted in various song lyrics. You may recall Brooklyn bar-rock luminaries The Hold Steady did something similar. What is notable about Johnny Foreigner’s so-called psychogeography is that there are places identified as being mentioned in songs that we have not yet heard. This means said songs — if in fact they are songs — have a chance to show up on the forthcoming full-length from the band, which is expected to be released spring 2008. Ignoring for now things that seem too odd to be song titles, possible new songs include:

“DJs Get Doubts”
“Hennings Favorite”
“I Heard, He Ties Up Cats”
