Art Brut Top of the Pops?

• 2nd May 2005

Glasswerk faves Art Brut released their latest single Emily Kane today. It deserves to easily go Top Forty, so make sure every single last one of you gets a copy.

For yourself. And your mum. And all your mates. You get the message. How else is Eddie and co going to get on Top of the Pops?

In fact, if you buy from her: link you get a great deal. Three versions (cd and two 7” formats) for just a fiver!

3. It's About Time

7 Inch Single 1

7 Inch Single 2

The 7 inch b-sides have Art Brut covers by various Art Brut Franchises – an exceedingly clever concept initiated by the band, whereby absolutely anyone can form an Art Brut franchise. As a franchisee you are encouraged to submit photos and news to the site and even record your own versions of Art Brut songs!

But anyway, back to Emily Kane. This is Eddie Argos at his very best. A heartfelt re-visit to a teenage love-lost. The fact that Emily is a real person and that up until very recently he hadn’t seen her in ten years, makes it all the more absorbing.

The last 12 months have been pretty amazing for Art Brut but there is lots more work to do. Starting with getting Art Brut cd’s into the Supermarkets. Because remember, “they only sell things that have charted”.

Art Brut – they’ve only just started. Go and buy Emily Kane. NOW.
