Album Notes & Community Reviews
For their sophomore studio effort 'It's a Bit Complicated', English indie rock group Art Brut enlisted producer Dan Swift to tighten their scrappy post-punk revival sound. The album is defined by frontman Eddie Argos's signature sardonic talk-singing and distinctly self-aware, humorous lyricism about romantic misadventures.
