Art Brut’s new album Brilliant! Tragic!

Produced by Black Francis, Brilliant! Tragic! is a hook-heavy listen that blows Art Brut’s repertoire wide open, from tenderized tales of love (“Lost Weekend”) and death (“Ice Hockey”) to restless, chord-chomping reminders of why we fell in love with their whip-smart songs in the first place (“Clever Clever Jazz,” “Axel Rose”). And then there are the tracks that’ll truly catch people off guard, including the patient, prickly wide open spaces of “Is Dog Eared” and the hypnotic harmonies of “Sealand,” which nudge bassist Freddy Feedback out of the shadows all-too-briefly.
