Brit pop-punkers Art Brut have a sound based on a tuneful yet flippant approach to music and the burning cheekiness of frontman Eddie Argos. Bursting on the scene in 2005 with their LP Bang Bang Rock and Roll and the kickoff missive "Formed a Band", the band has established their legacy by breaking in the door of the mainstream music party with a middle finger raised and tongue in cheek. Their fourth album promises more of the same with the title Brilliant! Tragic!. The Black Francis produced album becomes available on May 23 via Cooking Vinyl. A new track is available now with the entry of your email address in the widget below.
The new track "Unprofessional Wrestling" start with a somber singular bass that dupes the listener as the slapdash guitar is carelessly thrown over frantic drums. The glorious mess nudges, then shoves you in the back as Argos urges you into the fray. His lyrics are hilariously obvious phrases comparing coital positions and incidental blemishes with figure four leg locks and full nelsons. This is what has been so attractive about Art Brut through the years. The cheery, speedy hooks and silly words seem so accidental, but are all part of the clever schemes planted in each song. According to Pitchfork, "Unprofessional Wrestling" is a non-album track, which is a good sign for the upcoming new tunes yet to be discovered on Beautiful! Tragic!.
