New Art Brut (Now Sans Mustache)

Having freshly shorn his trademark mustache, Eddie Argos and the cheeky gang at Art Brut have finally nailed down a release date for their new album, It's A Bit Complicated. Coming out on June 26 on Downtown Records, Argos told Pitchfork last week that the new record will feature horns and him sounding older, "at least 17 years old."

The track listing has yet to be released, but song titles include "Nag Nag Nag Nag", "Direct Hit", "Pump Up the Volume", "I Will Survive", "People in Love", "Sunday Evening", and "Post Soothing Out".

Songs were available for streaming as of this morning, but have been mysteriously yanked off the web. A "Good Weekend" it could've been.

In the meantime, you'll just have to settle for this video of a live performance of Art Brut's latest single, "Nag Nag Nag." And the fact that tickets still remain on sale for Brut's April 21st performance at the Troubadour. Believe you me, that is not a performance to be missed. See for yourself.
