Art Brut have confirmed the release details of their latest single.
The band, who have also confirmed an appearance at this year's Benicassim Festival, will release 'Clever Clever Jazz' on August 15.
Singer Eddie Argos from the band has said of the single: This is a song about a band playing their first show. That feeling that what you are doing is very important even though you are playing to an empty room filled with just two people from work and the band you are supporting. Most of the things I mention in it are stories from my first band The Art Goblins. Although it was Art Brut that got heckled with 'Play one you know' the first time we played in Salem Oregon, it's still one of my favourites. The title 'Clever Clever Jazz' comes from a heckle that the Art Goblins got when we were playing one of our first shows; some of the audience covered their ears and started shouting 'That's not music' at us. I replied, 'It is, it's clever clever jazz and you just don't understand it' as I've always been a bit of a prick. Since then, I've always kind of thought of that excited feeling of a first gig as clever clever jazz.
The single will be the second release from 'Brilliant! Tragic!'
