The discography of Welsh emo and indie rock band Los Campesinos! consists of seven studio albums, one live album, two compilation albums, five EPs and 25 singles.

Contents

Los Campesinos! was formed in early 2006 and has gone through a number of line-up changes. Influenced by the twee-pop movement, their first two albums – which are the only two in their discography to feature the same line-up – were both released in 2008. [1] Hold on Now, Youngster... and We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed both received critical acclaim, prompting their third album in 2010, Romance Is Boring , which was praised for expanding their "already sizeable instrumental palette". [2]

Their fourth release, Hello Sadness , was released in 2011, followed by No Blues in 2013 and Sick Scenes in 2017. [3] The band has also released a live album – Good Night for a Fistfight in 2013, and five EPs, most recently More Hell in 2024. They released their seventh studio album, All Hell , in July 2024.
