Arab Strap
Scotland's incomparable and influential Arab Strap are back with their ninth studio album Half-Told Tales, due for release via Rock Action Records on 4th September 2026: almost exactly 30 years since the beloved duo’s first ever single, 'The First Big Weekend', was released. The follow-up to 2024's acclaimed "I'm totally fine with it 👍 don't give a fuck anymore 👍", "Half-Told Tales" is rich with Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton’s trademark wit and dark humour, whilst creating moments from quiet brooding to a self-described “disco-metal incantation that might make you dance”. Including the single 'You You You', the album was recorded with long-time collaborator Paul Savage (Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand).
