2003 - 2013
by Eddie Argos
Back in print! The 2013 Annotated Lyric Book returns at last. Featuring lyrics to every song from the first four Art Brut albums (up to Brilliant! Tragic!), plus B-sides and unreleased tracks from the time.
Includes an artist timeline, handwritten lyric scans with original artwork, and essays on how each album came together. With a foreword by my friend and one of my favourite poets, Luke Wright. Part lyric book, part scrapbook, part shouty time machine.
The lead singer in Art Brut, a lo fi punk rock motherfucker, quite tall.
Eddie Argos is a writer and artist who approaches life with the same unfiltered enthusiasm as his lyrics. An autodidact with dyspraxia, he has always learned by doing, embracing the chaos that comes with it. His books are conversational, self-deprecating, and full of heart, telling stories about art, life, and the joy of creating without worrying too much about the rules. Whether recounting his own adventures or figuring things out as he goes, his writing is always a bit chaotic, deeply personal, and driven by a love of doing things his own way.
