Contents

Release

The Dirty Nil announced the release of their third studio album on August 17, 2020. [8]

Singles

On June 17, 2020, The Dirty Nil released their first single "Done With Drugs". [9] The single is described as a "poppy, riff-heavy single that is less a sobriety anthem and more a meta mockery of social media posts about sobriety." [9] In a press release, lead musician Luke Bentham explained the meaning behind the single:

"At this time in my life, I see a lot of people who are trying to stop doing cocaine or stop drinking rivers of liquor, or stop eating lots of shitty fast food. On Facebook, I see these posts from people declaring, 'I'm done with this!' – they’ll have a six-paragraph post about how they’re changing their lives. I'm definitely not against self-betterment, and I'm not trying to make light of anyone's struggle; I'm just kind of amused and fascinated by that whole aspect of social media. Like someone will post, 'I'm done drinking coffee!' Okay, well then just stop drinking coffee – you don’t have to try to stop the internet for the day to tell everybody that you’re done with Maxwell House! I find that funny, and somewhat narcissistic. But that’s just my opinion, and I’m kind of an asshole!" [10]

Music videos

The Dirty Nil released the music video to "Done With Drugs" on YouTube on July 7, 2020. It was directed by Mitch Barnes and Victor Barnes. [11] The video was shot in a warehouse with the use of drone cameras. [12]

The second video "Doom Boy" was released on August 18, 2020. [13] [14]

On November 11, 2020, the third official video "Blunt Force Concussion" was released on YouTube. [15]

Their last video on the LP "Elvis 77" was released on Youtube on March 3, 2021. This video featured fan submissions in order to create something amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This video also features Milwaukee rock band, The Usual Suspects, performing a jackass-esque stunt 49 seconds into the video

Critical reception

Fuck Art was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 68 based on 4 reviews. [6] Aggregator Album of the Year gave the release a 71 out of 100 based on a critical consensus of 9 reviews. [16] AnyDecentMusic? gave a 7.1 out of 10 based on 6 reviews. [5]

Writing for Exclaim! , Adam Feibel wrote "Created in a time of distress and despair, Fuck Art is pure escapism. Their [The Dirty Nil] third album has the kind of punched-up confidence and middle-finger swagger that says they don't intend to be underdogs much longer." [2] Kelsey McClure of Upset Magazine rated the album 4 stars out of 5, explaining "'Fuck Art' is full of clever lyrics that are both parts funny and thought-provoking. The band has created a high-quality record with not a single mediocre song on the tracklist." [7]
