Art Brut: Art Brut vs. Satan
Copy at Case Memorial Library
Contents: Alcoholics unanimous — DC comics and chocolate milkshake — The passenger — Am I normal? — What a rush — Demons out! — Slap dash for no cash — The Replacements — Twist and shout — Summer job — Mysterious bruises. All songs written by Art Brut.
Personnel: Art Brut (Eddie Argos, vocals; Mikey Breyer, drums; Ian Catskilkin, guitar; Freddy Feedback, bass; Jasper Future, guitar). Produced by Black Francis.
Sample lyrics: "I've had a song trapped in my head all day/ I can't shake it, it won't go away/ I start to sing it but manage to stop/ and cover it up with a little cough/ (ahem)/ I didn't mean to twist and shout/ something slipped and it just popped out … I need to keep my lips tight shut/ To sing now would be inappropriate/ lalalalala lalalalala lalalalala lala" ("Twist and Shout").
I probably couldn't give an adequate description of Eddie Argos's vocal work, but Fred Schneider of the B-52's would be an important point of reference. Art Brut is one of not too many bands that make real music inextricably mixed up with goofball humor.
