Release Details

Scotland's acclaimed and influential Arab Strap are back with their ninth studio album "Half-Told Tales", due for release via fellow Scottish rockers Mogwai's 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. Recorded with Paul Savage (Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand) at Chem19, "Half-Told Tales" is rich with Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton's trademark wit and dark humour, whilst creating moments from quiet brooding to their self-described "metal incantation that might make you dance". #discometal #metaldisco
