Half-Told Tales (CD)
Arab Strap
Amoeba Review
Arab Strap sounds sharper and more beautiful than ever on Half-Told Tales. Disco meets jangle pop meets '80s fantasy metal in the insistent, driving "You You You." Dour post-punk meets early '90s grunge and what feels like a hint of acid house on "Glamour Magick." Lyrically, this is the Scottish duo at their most incisive and unforgettable. Arab Strap wants you to know you're not alone in feeling shock and horror at the evils being visited upon our fellow humans, but instead of turning to despondency, they urge us to seek fellowship, courage, and felicity – and if this smart-as-hell, angry-as-hell, beautiful-as-something-else album can keep you company, you're in luck.
