Art Brut

Adulthood is a dumb condition that affects way too many people in today’s world. That’s a fact that Art Brut is well aware of, and the British band is taking a strong offense against it. The group’s latest salvo is Art Brut vs. Satan, another batch of ridiculously catchy songs about music, girls, drinking too much and arrested development’s other pleasures — right down to cavalierly ignoring the food pyramid. I love the taste of cereal/I have it for almost every meal, Eddie Argos says on “DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshake,” and there’s no question that he’s talking about some kind of breakfast sugar bombs that are loaded with at least 50 percent marshmallows and have a nifty prize inside. Whoever thinks that doesn’t sound like the life, well, have fun with your Grape Nuts and with losing sleep over your 401(k). Art Brut is doing just fine and not planning on growing up anytime soon.
