Arab Strap can be a difficult band to listen to, unless you’re in exactly the right mood - and frankly, if you are in that mood, you’re probably better off trying to get out of it. You could say, in other words, that their music isn’t really in keeping with the overall theme of this blog. Despite being Scottish.
I like this one (from their second album Philophobia) because for once, the lyrics match the sheer beauty of their music. The opening lyrics, that is. Being Arab Strap, they lower the tone a bit after that.
