Hello Sadness is their strongest record to date; it’s as if everything they have learnt in terms of songwriting, arrangement and recording has peaked with this record culminating in a huge sounding yet direct and concise pop record. Add on to that the lyrics of Gareth and you have an intelligent, mature, expansive and immediate record that will thrill LC! fans but also has the potential to step outside that world and reach out to a wider audience. Recorded in Spain and mixed in Seattle with John Goodmanson (Sleater Kinney, Death Cab For Cutie).
