Art Brut

Eccentric indie-rockers Art Brut [ tickets ] enlisted Black Francis of The Pixies to produce their latest album, "Art Brut Vs. Satan." Released in May, the collection is the band's third studio set and the follow-up to 2007's "It's a Bit Complicated."

"We recorded 'Art Brut Vs. Satan' over the course of 10 days in Salem, Oregon, with the inimitable Black Francis at the helm," frontman Eddie Argos told Drownedinsound.com earlier this year. "We'd known for a while we wanted to record the album in one take or 'on the fly' so we were delighted when Black Francis agreed to work with us. He is, after all, the expert in the field.

"We turned up, he pressed record. We jumped around a bit and recorded our songs whilst he conducted us and gave knowing advice. Job done."
