The first track on Art Brut’s forthcoming “punk-as-fuck,” Black Francis-produced Art Brut Vs. Satan is “Alcoholics Unanimous.” The tale of drinking too much and dealing with it the next day isn’t especially harrowing — we’re expecting later songs like “Demons Out!” and “Mysterious Bruises” to be more worthy of the dark overlord. For now, “AU” finds Eddie Argos going on about apologetic group texts, lots of tea and coffee, the inability to form complete sentences and hiding it well, but not feeling great. A good one for folks who stayed out too late last night. Even if it hurts, stick around for the post “etc.” breakdown:
Hangover, Cure.
Art Brut Vs. Satan is out 4/20 in Europe via Cooking Vinyl and 5/12 in the US via Downtown. “Alcoholics Unanimous” is out 4/6 in the UK.

man this band is so fucking boring……just hang it up already
so boring that you had to comment on a post about them.
i’ve listened to this three times, and the chorus is so good that i haven’t even listened to words enough to say whether monsieur argos is still clever
I dig it. Sure, they’re not everyone’s particular cup of tea … but it makes me wanna dance.
Such a fun live band! Yeah they aren’t for everyone, but I like it! The “etc” breakdown is so great!
They are great live, but either the novelty wore off after the first album, or that was the only one to find the perfect blend of rock and witticism. Their last album and this song don’t live up.
It’s not my cup o’ tea, but I imagine it would be fun live, and I’d see them if they were touring with someone I’m even slightly more interested in.
i like it. whenever i hear this type of music i want it to go over the top and it never does. one day it will..
