Gotta hand it to Art Brut for their forthcoming record's literalist artwork. 'Cause using a protractor IS a bit complicated.
You can hear a trio of songs from the new record -- "Direct Hit," "Nag Nag Nag Nag," and "Late Sunday Evening" -- at MySpace. (Though our fave is "Post Soothing Out.") Eddie will come to terms with the loss of Emily Kane all over again at a sold-out show at Bowery tonight. The rest of the Brut's dates after the jump.
