Surprise surprise! The new Art Brut track features Eddie Argos shouting over punky chords and a sloppy rhythm. No news there. However, the production on their forthcoming single "Nag Nag Nag Nag" (due November 13 on Mute) is much slicker than that of Bang Bang Rock & Roll, and the band seems more sure of itself.

As usual, Argos' lyrics are both simple and profound at the same time, musing on what it's like to be an adult with an adolescent obsession-- rock n roll. Funny, I think about that every day.
