About

Arab Strap is the Scottish duo of Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton from Falkirk. Since the mid-1990s they have built a raw indie sound around drum machines and Moffat's voice between speech and song. After a 2006 split and a reunion around their anniversary, they released As Days Get Dark (2021) and I'm Totally Fine With It Don't Give a Fuck Anymore (2024). In September 2026 Rock Action put out Half-Told Tales, an album about ageing, social noise and politics, with live saxophone for the first time in their catalogue. The band marks thirty years and is on a European tour that includes Prague.
