Arab Strap. I love this band. Love them. Philophobia is one of my all-time favorite albums, but I like 'em all. NOT CRAP.

Slight waffle factor because they've done shows with Bright Eyes, indie rock's own John Maher (or whatever that guy's name is).

But they've stretched their format a little thin


Agree 100%, I don't think I'll be buying any more of their albums if it's gonna be another round of cheesey drum machine + skowtish accent + mellow guitar + lyrics about walking home. Philophobia did that just nicely, but I doubt I'd want more.

It has "One Four Seven One" on it, one of my favorite 'Strap songs.

The new album's a return to form - Malcolm Middleton is a pop genius, it would seem. "Philophobia" is one of my favourite albums ever. The soundtrack to my late teens.

He went to bed about a decade ago, or whenever he sold his soul to the bankers and the elites.
