Arab Strap
I’m totally fine with it, don’t give a fuck anymore
Rock Action
The renowned misery peddlers embrace romance's darkness and smear it across the top, like filthy backstreet bakers, with salacious electronic icing.
There are chin-deep dabbles in the bleak throb of techno, caustic-edged post-punk, and, perhaps unexpectedly, flirtatious and contagious FM synthesis, all of which builds magnificently to the album's sprawling and emotive crescendo. Almost 28 years after their debut, Arab Strap have never sounded more essential, and this record is a fierce testament to their laser focus on wider horizons. Written and performed exclusively by Malcolm Middleton & Aidan Moffat, and finessed with longtime collaborator Paul Savage, the album furthers the band’s transformation from swooning, slow-core romantics to raging, alt-pop chroniclers.
