Art Brut Frontman Says Killers, Kings of Leon Songs Written by Robots
Ever since he took a jab at the lyrics of the Killers and Kings of Leon at the Glastonbury Festival last weekend, Art Brut singer Eddie Argos' inbox has been filling up with messages questioning his taste and, in some cases, his intellect. Even Argos' father has weighed in. "My dad likes the Killers," Argos tells Spinner. "He sent me an email telling me, 'It's a good album. You should listen to it.'" But the singer remains unswayed. "Those bands' songs to me sound like they were written by robots," he says. "They don't sound like they were made by people. They're so produced, and sort of aimed at a demographic. They're not about anything."
During a Glastonbury performance of 'Slap Dash for No Cash,' Argos sang the lines "This sex is on fire" and "Are we human? Or are we dancer?" then questioned, "What does it mean? What does any of it f---ing mean?"
"A lot of people have been emailing me: 'You don't read enough. You're an idiot. ['Are we human? Or are we dancer?'] is a quote from Hunter S. Thompson,'" Argos says. "But you put that quote in the context of the rest of the song and it doesn't mean anything. Personally, I like songs to be about something.
