| | Art Brut vs. Satan CD Art Brut Discography of CDs
Pixies legend Frank Black produced Brit-punks Art Brut's third full-length, ART BRUT VS. SATAN. Not surprisingly, his influence is most revealed in Ian Catskilkin's guitar tones, which fight against the songs' dominant rhythms and waver between bratty chorus solos and muscular riffs. ART BRUT VS. SATAN is an aggressive-sounding record, despite the group's slacker charm, embodied in the sarcastic post-beat poetry of singer Eddie Argos. But SATAN further distinguishes the band from peers like Franz Ferdinand, all by virtue of their unwillingness to take themselves seriously, even as their music gets meatier and more adventurous. Contemporary Britpop simply doesn't get more fun than the faux-cautionary scream-along "What A Rush."
Personnel: Eddie Argos (vocals); Ian Catskilkin, Jasper Joseph (guitar); Freddy Feedback (bass guitar); Mike Breyer (drums).
Alternative Press (p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Frontman Eddie Argos' sing-speak ruminations are inspired once again..." Billboard (p.29) - "The seven-minute closer, 'Mysterious Bruises' is Art Brut's most ambitious song to date...a funky guitar hook and thoughtful lyrics make it a highlight." Q (Magazine) (p.117) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "With former Pixies man Frank Black producing, the results are hyperactive and punky..." Pitchfork (Website) - "Black gets the Art Brut spirit down on record better than anyone has before, with the blazing pop-metal vainglory of Weezer, the scruffy cheekiness of early Rough Trade bands, and lots of enthusiastic backing vocals."

| | Elliott Smith Xo CD (1998)
Art Brut vs. Satan
$11.99 The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, which cast him squarely in the Mark Eitzel/Smog camp of unrelenting self-effacement ...
| | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
Art Brut vs. Satan
$12.05 This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some ...
| | Elliott Smith From A Basement On The Hill CD (2004)
Art Brut vs. Satan
$14.49 Elliott Smith's death in 2003 left a cavernous hole in the world of popular music. Tender, intimate, and painfully honest, the songs in Smith's catalogue capture the fragility of human existence with rare, breathtaking beauty. On his first posthumous release, Smith reaffirms his status as an extraordinarily gifted artist, giving fans yet another reason to mourn his tragic loss.
Conceived as an ambitious double album, FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL was ultimately narrowed down to 15 tracks by Smith's close friends, producer Rob Schnapf (Beck's MELLOW GOLD, Smith's X/O) and musician Joanna Bolme (the Minders, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks). The result is a heartbreaking collection of songs that plays like ...

Art Brut vs. Satan
$15.09 Nearly four years after his tragic death, NEW MOON is a two-disc compilation of previously unissued recordings by the late singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. The majority of the 24 tracks on NEW MOON are solo home recordings featuring only Smith's voice and guitar, most of them recorded between 1994 and 1998 as Smith was leaving the band ...
| | Pylon Gyrate Plus CD (1980) Remastered
Art Brut vs. Satan
$13.09 Pylon's first album, although it doesn't contain masterworks on the level of the first single "Dub" or the later single "Crazy," is considerably more consistent than the comparatively spotty Pylon!! and Chomp. This is Pylon at their purest, mixing the spartan angularity of Gang of Four with a playfulness missing from similar U.K. bands like the Au Pairs or the early Mekons (or indeed from ...
