I personally love Art Brut, consider them the definitive indie band of our time, and think that Eddie Argos is rock and roll's greatest smartass since Jonathan Richman. If this is the "ironic generation," as we are so often told we are, then Art Brut is exposing just how deep that irony runs. No one can tell if they're serious or not, and no one if their good at what they do whether or not they are serious. They've blurred the line between irony and sincerity so much that trying to distinguish the two is pointless.
