Biography

Scottish miserablists Arab Strap were a musical duo from Falkirk. They marked themselves out with their brooding sound and honest stories. Touching on disappointing trips to petrol stations, weekend watching of The Simpsons, and getting by in a world where the local pub can on occasion contain every girl you have ever slept with, Arab Strap presented a touching and gritty take on contemporary… Read more in Amazon's Arab Strap Store

5.0 out of 5 stars GENIUS!, February 21, 2006

M. Callazzo "xploream2" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Last Romance (Audio CD)

Their past CD's are abrasive, yet not catchy. This one is still on the edgy side, but very tuneful and melodic. The songs are brilliant. All the songs are varied, but all are strong. I like 'There is no ending' and 'Speed Date' and 'Dream sequence.' It's their best CD and the best CD of 2006!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cuts through, July 8, 2006

M. MCKNIGHT "reviewer" (US) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Last Romance (Audio CD)

I tend to judge bands by the vocalist's delivery. In this case it's a five star affair. Arab Strap bring a world weary, cold, clear, get down to it feel to songs that would be dirges if not for their skipping pace. It's certainly an acquired taste, but one worth the price of acquisition.

"Stink" is possibly the greatest song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confessional Masterpiece, August 17, 2006

Carrie McGath (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Last Romance (Audio CD)

I have been an Arab Strap fan for years, but this is their pure and true masterpiece in my opinion. The cohesieness of the album is captivating and the songs themselves are completely realized and poetic. This is an artistic undertaking of emotions that have been dwelling in a dark corner for a long time.

A lot of the songs are very catchy too ... like "Speed-Date," all are melodic and fascinating in their nudity.

3.0 out of 5 stars Final fling
Though it sounds apparent the dire duo's corrosive chemistry was running dry, they fade out on this respectable note of upbeat, half-sour laments.
