Eddie Argos doesn’t feel great on this new Art Brut single. Probably the entire Frank Black-produced album, really; it’s called Art Brut Vs. Satan, and in this case the devil’s in the details of his issues with drinking, group texts, and latter-day remorse. The best thing to do in those situations is go to Alcoholics Anonymous. Eddie goes to “Alcoholics Unanimous.” Not a good place to find sympathy, but it turns out to be a great place for sardonic and chanted responses on the hook to your punk song.

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. More info here.

  1. bloody awful. had to stop it at 1:20.

    the first step is admitting your band has a problem and that your music is unmanageable. good luck with all the amends…

  3. Another band that is way to big for their talent. Art Brut … Should be Art Shit.

    Yeah, I concur, Art Brut do suck. Forgot how ugly that mope is too

  5. I think this is Art Brut doing exactly what they do well. If the so-called Musicologist doesn’t get it, then whatever….move on. this is the music that Art Brut make…It hasn’t really changed at all in their three album career, so something’s working for them. Viva Art Brut.
