I don't know why but many of the indie bands that I like are Scottish. I love the nervous anxiety of Frightened Rabbit, the shoe-gazing, understated sound from the Twilight Sad, the post-rock experimentation of Mogwai, the lo-fi appeal of Meursault, the irreverent playfulness of Dogs Die in Hot Cars, the cute yet edgy music of Belle and Sebastian, the instantly likeable pop of Camera Obscura I possibly could go on. There's nothing really common between all of the Scottish bands that I like. Alright, there's. I like the quirky accent that's common between most of the vocalists of those bands-notably,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Frightened Rabbit's Scott Hutchison and The Twilight Sad's James Graham - however the music of every of those bands is not much the same.

Maybe it's something to do with my extreme fondness for an additional creation that comes in a bottle and shares its provenance with one of these bands but I like Scottish bands. Then when I (re)discovered Arab Strap,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the fact that it had been a Scottish band won me over before their music actually did. And, only for the record their name-which actually describes a tool made from leather along with a metal ring that men can use for…ahem…something which i shall not let you know much more about (go Google!) had absolutely nothing to do with why I liked them.
Arab Strap are (well, were, really since the band broke up in 2006) a duo comprising singer Aidan Moffat and multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Middleton in 1995. They made it big with their initial single-The First Big Weekend,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose lyrics can be read just like a short story, a story that seems honest and real and is actually about the two of them and their experience via a weekend. Have a peek in a bit in the song and you'll probably see what I'm bothering: "It would be a night, everybody was nutted and I wound up dancing with a few blonde girl. I figured she had been quite pretty until last night when Matthew informed me that she had, actually, been a pig. Once the club finished we wandered the streets for some time until we got to this 24-hour cafe but I didn like the look of it and then we left and also got taxis back to Morag flat. I couldn sleep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and so i sat about drinking another person strawberry tonic wine and attempted to keep everyone else up."
Yes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Arab Strap's songs are just like that: stark, matter-of-fact, honest and funny. Not for that faint-hearted, a few of their lyrics, though. I can not reproduce the lyrics of some their songs for example Piglet or Packs of Three but the reality is they infuse armloads of wit (Packs of Three describes what is colloquially referred to as 'rubbers'),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], often very risqué in nature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], within their compositions. Their songs mostly are about love, betrayal, rejection and disillusionment but even when they're sad they're beautiful.
Arab Strap, a duo comprising singer Aidan Moffat and multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Middleton, make music that's reassuringly soothing and eminently listenable
Although I'd heard a few tracks by Arab Strap years back, I hadn't had the opportunity to get into this guitar rock band till a few weeks when I obtained two albums, A few days Never Starts Round Here (released in 1996) and Philophobia (1998). As the two spun around on my small iPod, this guitar rock band began growing on me. The under-stated humour within the lyrics and also the minimalist yet carefully crafted musical arrangements were what made me an immediate fan. Arab Strap's music is not in your face and their songs make much about quotidian life and experiences that many of their contemporaries would probably never have considered covering. Yet there is something reassuringly soothing about their curiously sad-but-at-the-same-time-funny songs, making them readily available and eminently listenable.
Then I realised why I was enjoying Arab Strap so much. It was because Arab Strap reminded me so much of a current band that I love greatly, The nation's. Download Central has raved in the past about The National, the indie band from Brooklyn, Ny, which may very well be coming to locating big mainstream success. The similarities between Arab Strap and The National are striking. And I don't know why I haven't read about this before. Having a difference, though. There is not a way that Arab Strap when they were around could have wished for mainstream success from the kind that The National are within kissing distance of today.
It's a pity that Arab Strap disbanded after 11 years and six studio albums but I do believe if they remained as around (and I do not have a clue in regards to what Moffat and Middleton are as much as today),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they could took a shy at a much larger following. But that is just my hypothesis. What's important is the fact that their music is around and if nothing else here's hoping that more bands are influenced by that Scottish duo with a slightly lecherous sense of humour.

Fantastic writeup for the scotts. In regards to a last year I had been telling a buddy (who was looking for short stories to film) that there is a film in The First Big Weekend,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. There is a torrent for a long time of Tears which is designed to be considered a decent assortment of their work. I additionally keep wondering which of those two is Boy in the Arab Strap. Apparently Stuart Murdoch would be beaten up for writing it.
Please a piece on Belle and Sebastian sometime. They do take some publicity despite the cuteness factor. And please do a type of in history favourite albums type of articles. So many things get buried since they're not current.
