"There Are Listed Buildings" is a song by Welsh indie pop band Los Campesinos!, released on 2 November 2009 as the lead single to their third studio album Romance Is Boring.[1] It was initially distributed via digital download and as a seven-inch single only available on their 2009 UK tour.[2][3] Frontman Gareth Paisey said the track was influenced by the work of Death Cab for Cutie.[4]
Writing for Consequence, Alex Young said the track was "Broken Social Scene-esque" and "features an awesome horn part".[2] Joseph Lynch of Entertainment Weekly said the track "brings back the life-affirming marriage of punk energy and twee songcraft from their 2008 debut".[5]
The song was voted first place by listeners of Dandelion Radio in the 2009 Festive Fifty.[6]
A music video for "There Are Listed Buildings" was released alongside the track on YouTube via Arts & Crafts. It was directed by Aaron Brown and Ben Chappell.[7] In 2020, frontman Gareth Paisey reflected: "Music video for this [song] isn’t very good. I think I only ever watched it once".[4]
