Single Review
Art Brut – DC Comics And Chocolate MilkshakeArt Brut – DC Comics And Chocolate Milkshake

Who would believe Art Brut only took twelve days to record their latest album ‘Art Brut Vs Satan?’ especially after hearing the quality of the first single to be taken from the album which was ‘Alcoholics Unanimous’ and now hearing the fantastic follow up single ‘DC Comics And Chocolate Milkshake’.

Art Brut ooze with confidence and style in their new single ‘DC Comics And Chocolate Milkshake’, the song is a bit of pop-punk for the indie masses, its fast, it’s furious and it’s without a doubt very random, how often do you hear lyrics such as “DC Comics And Chocolate Milkshake, Even Know I’m 28’, yes the lyrics are great in a very random but that’s what adds to the whole excitement about Art Brut, and also the way Eddie Argos delivers the lyrics with his distinctive vocals.

The B-side ‘Weird Science’ is a geeky song about science fiction, drinking and eating crisps and features more random lyrics such as “I spent all night licking my lips, I need another packet of crisps”, the song is good but no way near as good as the main single.

Art Brut are one of the most energetic indie bands in England who like to have a laugh, I do feel that they are slightly underrated and should be bigger than what they are but when you’re in a band that sings about really random things and have a set of vocals that stand out like a sore thumb then you are going to be a bit of a marmite band that you either love or hate, for me I love Art Brut and always will as long as they keep being random.

5/5
