Art Brut
Both Billboard and Rolling Stone had only good things to say about the Brit band’s newest album release Art Brut VS. Satan, out now On Downtown Records.
BB: “The English rock act Art Brut has established itself as the class clown of the indie scene, creating lightweight punk songs with a sarcastic edge.” “The seven-minute closer, “Mysterious Bruises,” is Art Brut’s most ambitious song to date, but a funky guitar hook and thoughtful lyrics make it a highlight.”
RS: “On Art Brut’s third album, Argos is in his usual form, waxing wittily about suspended adolescence, hangovers and, in “Slap Dash for No Cash,” hack musicians: “Why is everyone trying to sound like U2?/It’s not a very cool thing to do.””
