Title: Soundtrack for sly lovers
Review: Ah Arab Strap, given the title of miserable (...)from Scotland but that rather misses the point. They've lyrics that are very dry and cutting which can make you laugh out loud. And on this album they seem to sound a little happier ( Come Round and Love Me, Dream Sequence ) although it does have some sad moments ( Chat in Amsterdam, Winter 2003 ). But in general it sounds a lot more brighter, chirpier as if they've got a new spring in their step from a new relationship. And even on the topical There Is No Ending you still feel that while the world may be a big pile of (...) outside, everything else is alright. Which in a funny way is quite comforting and reassuring. If you can take Aidan Moffat's voyeurist-love-detective style of singing ( never short of an innuendo somewhere ) then this album is for you. Enjoy
