Eddie Argos hails Black Francis

Eddie Argos has praised Black Francis for his production of Art Brut's forthcoming album.

The singer explained that he does not always enjoy the recording process, but added that this time round the band "did it just right".

Former Pixies frontman Francis, also known as Frank Black, was recently announced as the producer on the band's third LP.

Argos said: "We spent a day getting the sound of the instruments perfect, then with all of us in the same room at the same time, with the amazing Black Francis conducting us, we pressed record, jumped around and played our songs.

"This is how I always thought albums were made and it's definitely how we're doing it from now on!"

He added that the "new order will rise" when the follow-up to 2007's It's A Bit Complicated is released.

Art Brut vs. Satan will be available from April 20, and will be preceded by the single 'Alcoholics Unanimous' on April 6.
