For their fourth album, Brilliant! Tragic!, Art Brut returned to the studio to work with Pixies frontman Frank Black. After working with Black, singer Eddie Argos sought a new direction for the album by changing up his rough spoken word vocals for a new singing style, which should add an interesting new dimension to the band's sound.
Professional Reviews
Spin (p.94) - "'Lost Weekend' is some kind of romantic peak..."
Alternative Press (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Argos dismisses pretentious musicians...lords his mystical powers over everyone and sounds positively broken and rambling over sharp post-punk minimalism..."
CMJ - "Art Brut is known for its clever, literal lyrics, an on its fourth album, BRILLIANT! TRAGIC!, the British garage-punk band lives up to that reputation right from the title."
