Art Brut Essentials

Art Brut Essentials

"Yes, this is my singing voice. It's not irony!" Art Brut frontman Eddie Argos shouts tunelessly on "Formed a Band." It's a moment that perfectly spotlights the awesomeness of these indie upstarts. Formed in London in 2003, Art Brut are best known for Argos's enthusiastic, sometimes embarrassing, and uniformly hilarious candid commentary set to a thrillingly primitive, blazing punk racket. But whether it's walks of shame, grammar-school crushes, or worship of The Replacements, it's their heart-tugging earnestness that makes Art Brut a cut above their peers.
