Art Brut Vs. Satan
(Cooking Vinyl, 2009)
Art-indie rock aggravators' third probes bruises.
"Record buying public, we hate them," yelps Art Brut's frontman Eddie Argos on Demons Out!, sixth song on the art-punk exhibitionists' third. An odd stance when you're in a band - they're actually buying records, and you still hate them? - but as Art Brut Vs. Satan demonstrates, he's ready to declare contradictions, and seems to actively seek out embarrassment. But however trivial his concerns (think public transport, how bands should behave, reading comics and hungover misery) he still believes in rock'n'roll, rendering the trivialities somehow noble while deadpanning lines like, "I can't remember anything I've done / I fought the floor and the floor won" (Mysterious Bruises). With Frank Black producing, the results are like a drunker version of Young Knives, all the better for enjoying the group's comic English thwartedness. See also Argos' 2010 collaborative answer song collection Everybody Was In The French Resistance... Now!, wherein famous tunes like Billie Jean, Scarborough Fair and Jimmy Mack get pleasingly two-fingered retorts.
