Art Brut

Art Brut returned with new music in 2018 with Wham! Bang! Pow! Let's Rock Out! Produced by Jim Moray and featuring the Wedding Present's Charlie Layton on drums, the group's fifth album detailed Argos' adventures during the band's hiatus, which included moving to Berlin; having a child; and a serious illness. Argos spent some time pursuing projects like commissioned paintings of people's favorite album covers, writing a column about comic books, and Haus Band, a group that released a cover of "She Belongs to Me" in honor of Bob Dylan's birthday in May 2021. Art Brut embarked on a tour in 2023, and in 2024 they released a pair of archival collections. A Record Collection, Reduced to a Mixtape was a concise greatest hits set, while And Yes, This Is My Singing Voice! collected the band's early output, gathering Bang Bang Rock & Roll and It's a Bit Complicated as well as Brutlegs, B-sides, and a 2006 Paris concert. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
