A Night to Remember, Now Preserved for Fans
Indie-pop favorites Los Campesinos! have released *So Close to Heaven (Live at Troxy)*, a vibrant document of their two-night residency at london’s Troxy in February. The album isn’t just a recording; it’s a re-creation of the energy and intimacy of those performances, amplified by a stellar lineup of guest musicians.
The live experience was enriched by the talents of holly Carpenter (violin), Blossom Caldarone (cello), Emma Johnson (saxophone), Ewan Whyte (trumpet), and Viva Msimang (trombone). These additions clearly elevated the sound,and the album aims to translate that dynamic to listeners at home. The recording process itself was a collaborative effort, helmed by Paul Rattcliff and Mathew Acreman, with mixing by Gareth Bodman and mastering by Andrei Eremin.
A Return to Form and a Look Back
The release of *So Close to Heaven* follows a period of creative resurgence for Los Campesinos!. Last year saw the band’s triumphant return with *All Hell*, their first full-length album since 2017. They quickly followed that up with the companion EP, *More Hell*, demonstrating a renewed momentum and commitment to their craft. This live album feels like a natural extension of that energy,offering fans a fresh viewpoint on familiar favorites and a taste of the band’s captivating live show.
