LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

'We're going to be the band that writes the song that makes Israel and Palestine get along' is what Art Brut promised the world on their 2005 debut album Bang Bang Rock & Roll.
And even though the situation in the Middle East hasn't improved, their bold promise put the London Art Wave band on the musical map."

Brilliant! Tragic! is their newest album, and like Art Brut Vs. Satan it was produced by the legendary Black Francis of the Pixies.
'We had more time in the studio, so Black Francis had time to teach me to sing,' lead man Eddie Argos told Pitchfork."

Brilliant! Tragic! will give you a singing/mumbling slacker attitude with sawdust in the gearbox, verbosely funny lyrics, and cover artwork by Image comic book artist Jamie McKelvie."

Streetdate of this beauty is on the 23rd of May.
