Art Brut - Lost Weekend

Lost Weekend is the first offering from "Brilliant!Tragic!", the latest album from German/British Indie outfit Art Brut. The single is officially released on May 16th and the full-length album will follow suit one week later. Art Brut are renowned for their unique talk-singing approach to music.

This single is very different to the usual heavy talk-rock which Eddie Argos is more associated with. In this simple love song, he has switched it down to an almost whisper. It is quite unusual but at the same time its effect and fits the theme of a love song more so than a heavier vocal would.

Overall, I like the song but hope the whole album does not stick to this vocal style
