Art Brut
Video Interview

We popped round to the Cooking Vinyl offices to wag chins with the singer and lyricist of Art Brut; to find out about their 3rd album, Art Brut vs. Satan and lead track 'Alcoholics Unanimous', amongst other things. And what a nice man Eddie is. Despite being massive in the US, Germany and France, with a loyal cult following (call them the cognoscenti!) in the UK - which includes the majority of music critics - he remains as humble and good humoured as hell.

The good folk of Psapp kindly let us into their headquarters to discuss all manner of things, including their brand new album The Camel’s Back (£5 this week), forthcoming single The Monsters Song and why TV shows like C.S.I. and Grey's Anatomy so often turn to them for a tune or two.
