I always describe Gareth’s singing as ‘Brutalist’. It’s not supposed to be pretty, it’s supposed to be impactful and overbearing, something that makes los campesinos so utterly unique and wonderful

They might seriously be the most underrated band in history. This performance is just so raw and real and I love it so much🫧 Gareth’s lyricism is something that got me super invested in Los Campesinos! besides the amazing instrumentals (especially in No Blues, in my opinion). They’re just so great, I hope to see them live one day👍

So many backhanded compliments about Gareth's singing. He's amazing! And his voice barely changes be it live or recorded. 😊

Anderson pack did a pretty good one too. - but this one of the best

gareth may not have the best voice in the world, but his song-writing is SPECTACULAR. every bit of it is either incredibly deep, incredibly clever, or both. the band is absolutely amazing too!! the harmonizing that the girls do during 'the sea is a good place to think of the future' is just beautiful and the incorporation of the violin really adds a unique touch. such an amazing band - i'm so glad they're still kicking!!

You gotta admire Gareth trying his best to make kim feel comfortable doing stuff like this. She was very new to the group at this time IIRC

fantastic performance from a fantastic band. UNREAL songwriting. edit: gareth looks like he needs to wee the whole time which is making me giggle but it is what it is

One of the most underrated UK bands. Fortunately have seen them all few times.

Still listening to this every freakin' week. So pure, so beautiful

More to the point, he's one the best British lyricists currently writing. Most rappers don't sing, but are often judged by how well they string words together. Black metal lead vocalists don't sing, but what they do is good or bad on its own merits and in its own terms.

2:51 I love how when he sings the line of 'pressed your thumbs to her throat' he makes a little gesture and touches Kim's neck.

There will never be another band like Los camp, that I’m sure of it!

cant believe I discovered this band so late, im glad i found it all though

i love gareth's voice and his singing barely changes when in studio or live

Since I couldn't find the names anywhere else, here they are Gareth David - Vocals Tom Bromley - Guitar Kim David - Backing Vocals Harriet Coleman - Violin At least I think! 480p quality isn't helping lol!

I love his voice idk what yall talkin bout, its so raw.

LOVE THIS SO MUCH !!!! Saw them twice in Houston, TX during this time. His singing is incredible

Absolutely perfect. I have no idea if they're the best band in the world, but they're my favorite.

The mannerisms that Gareth follows while singing are rather endearing in of themselves, even ignoring his singing and commentary

I’m not a crier but when i met Gary 6 years ago my friend had to steady me. The mans a lyrical poet

Harriet is definitely one of my biggest inspirations for violin, i quit for a while and im getting back into it now finally :)

My favorite band for years! They were amazing live in SLC! Misery has never been so danceable! :)

I like the lead singer's style... this is great! it has a 'busking' feel to it

Gareth is a brilliant lyricist/poet.

the boy who sings is really cool! his voice is nice

When people ask now, you should just say you're listening to The Peasants, so they keep their exotic flair.

revisiting this performance because it rocks. lets be real, if gareth sang beautifully all the time nothing would hit as hard as it does

I have the biggest crush on the fiddle player.

I was going to yell, and curse, but then I realized this comment really just made me sad, because I realized that you didn't get it. He's not a good singer, but that's not the point. Everything he sings is imbued with passion and he really means what he's singing, and it's the not-quite-there-ness of his voice that hammers this home.

Amazing version of "The Sea....
