Brothers and sisters! Art Brut have a brand new single headed your way, and, you guessed it, it's for decibel-baiting It's a Bit Complicated jam "Pump Up the Volume" (not actually a M/A/R/R/S cover, mind you).

"Pump" hit UK digital retailers this week via Mute, and e-buyers can opt for one of two formats: the single-track version, or a three-track EP boasting "Pump" and two new songs, "Wasted Week-End" and "Our Parents Record Collection".

The mighty Art Brut have tacked on an epic three-date tour of Switzerland since our last report, and they of course have gigs in the UK, Spain, and Italy leading up to it. The next pops off in Dundee, Scotland tonight.
