Arab Strap kündigen selbstbetiteltes Album an

Die Schotten von Arab Strap haben für den 30. September ein Doppelalbum namens „Arab Strap“ angekündigt. Wie sie selbst sagen, voller „secret hits and rarities“.

We chose 20 songs – one for each year since we started – and decided to split them into two lots of 10. The first disc’s a kind of best-of, but we just stuck to the more electronic stuff for this – there’s so many different sounds going on in Arab Strap albums, so we wanted to make it a more coherent whole.

The second disc’s filled with rarities from EPs and b-sides and out-takes and stuff, so there’s some louder rock stuff on there. I think all of these songs could’ve been on the albums they were recorded for, but sometimes you’re trying to tell a story and they just don’t fit. This disc is more live drums and rock-y too, so anyone looking for the noise should hopefully be satisfied.
