Indie rockers Arab Strap release the album As Days Get Dark

“It’s about hopelessness and darkness,” says Aidan Moffat. “But in a fun way.” The Arab Strap frontman is speaking about the band’s 7th studio album and their first since 2005’s The Last Romance. The band’s exciting return saw the much lauded “The Turning of Our Bones”  single achieve Record of the Week on Jo Whiley’s BBC Radio 2 show and hit the B-list at BB6Music. The new album will appeal to longtime fans and pick up new ones who weren’t ready for Arab Strap first time round!

Five years after their re-formation, Arab Strap returned to the music game with 2021’s As Days Get Dark. Covering themes of darkness and hopelessness, the project was the group’s first studio album in 16 years!
