" On the latest Los Campesinos! album, We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed, you will hear a lot of things: raw pop. Caustic beats. Charging riffs, like the New Pornographers put through a food processor on high. But more than anything, you will notice the vocals of Aleksandra Campesinos!  Death to Los Campesinos! Even in this song from the band&amp;#039;s last album, Aleksandra does not storytell. She pleas. There is desperation in her yells. They are a bit off-key at times, a little unpolished. But you know she cares. You also know that she&amp;#039;s not messing around. Everything you need to know is in her voice. It&amp;#039;s unhinged, attached to a body that&amp;#039;s probably taken a shot too many, stayed out a bit too late. Same with Emily Haines from Metric: You can hear it in her exasperated growls. Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The voice. The yell. The desperation. They care.
