If opening up your records with some good old fashioned swears is what you’re after, then Arab Strap have form, 1998’s Philophobia beginning with the immortal line, ‘It was the biggest cock you’d ever seen’.
But there’s something oddly plangent about the kick-off to The Turning Of Our Bones – the Scottish duo’s first side 1, track 1 in sixteen years – one which jumps in headfirst with singer Aidan Moffat confessing, ‘I don’t give a fuck about the past’.
Certain parts of his and partner Malcolm Middleton’s story are familiar through the history of other reconciled acts; that there was never any thought of a reformation until working together after over a decade of self-imposed drift; that they were unprepared to make artistic compromises, and that, as the line of that previously mentioned track goes, any new work had to be well distanced from what had gone before.

After sixteen years between drinks, Arab Strap return with a new record
As Days Get Dark. It’s the first new music since the band reunited for live dates in 2016 and mixes the band’s signature morbid humour with an older tone and a wiser voice. Aidan Moffat and Malcom Middleton call into
Far And Wide to discuss the genesis of the record and the open-hearted intentions behind some of the seedier stories that litter the lyricsheet. “It’s my
Lion King song,” Moffat says of lead single “The Turning of Our Bones”. “It’s about sex and death!”

Half a decade on from their reunion gigs in 2016-2017, a full decade-and-a-half after their farewell shows in 2006, Arab Strap have readied their seventh album:
As Days Get Dark. It’s been a thrill to find that neither Aidan Moffat nor Malcolm Middleton would grace a record with the Arab Strap moniker unless it lived up to the exacted standards they set for themselves. It’s also pleasing to hear that COVID willing there are already plans for a follow-up EP to accompany touring plans set for later in the year (with the same tour booked again as a backup in spring 2022.) Taking a break from the pleasures of domesticity and enforced confinement, the ever-charming and loquacious Mr. Moffat took time out to tell PopMatters of matters large and small, past and present.
