It's A Bit Complicated Out Now On Downtown Records

Los Angeles Times: "As good as much of the new British rock can be, it is experiencing a creeping seriousness these days. It's a Bit Complicated is a welcome corrective."

Fresh off their "Direct Hit" performance on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Art Brut return to the U.S. this September for a slew festivals and a handful of dates in between. Art Brut is currently celebrating rave reviews to their sophomore release Its A Bit Complicated out now on Downtown Records. In honor of this much festive occasion, Art Brut have been touring the world and will return to the U.S. for a very special tour in late Fall.
It makes sense that Art Brut share its name with the mid-20th century art movement characterized by a breaking of traditional cultural boundaries. Much like that Art Brut—outsiderish, rebellious, punk before punk, this Art Brut, too, is deliciously libertine.
Having just finished the band's second full-length, It's a Bit Complicated, Argos and crew are set to head back on the road this spring and summer, playing dates across the U.S. and Europe with Maximo Park in tow. Argos claims the new record is poppier than the first—could that be possible? Either way, with tracks titled "Pump Up the
Volume" and "I Will Survive," expect it to be tongue-in-cheek and rancorously funny.
And yes, it might just lead to peace in the Middle East.
