Art Brut release new album

Art Brut has announced it will be releasing its third studio album, Art Brut vs Satan (COOKCD492) on Monday 20th April.

"We recorded the album in a punk-as-fuck two weeks in Salem, Oregon," explains lead singer Eddie Argos. "I don't always enjoy the recording process - all that fiddling with guitars and drum sounds waiting for my turn to 'sing'. This time though, we did it just right. We spent a day getting the sound of the instruments perfect, then with all of us in the same room at the same time, with the amazing Black Francis conducting us, we pressed record, jumped around and played our songs. This is how I always thought albums were made and it's definitely how we're doing it from now on!"

The first single to be released from the album will be Alcoholics Unanimous, on Monday 6th April. More details to follow …

Art Brut, who love touring ("we actually have to be physically restrained to stop us playing live every night"), will be doing a 10 UK dates in April and May. Full dates below.
