Small instore to mark 'Half Told Tales' by @arabstrap.scot last night at Resident Records.

Great in-store show from @arabstrap.scot in Brighton last night promoting the new album #HalfToldTales . First time I’ve seen them play a stripped back set & I really enjoyed hearing the new album songs, plus a couple of oldies, played this way. Go buy the album, it’s well worth it! 🎸🎶🙂 #LiveMusic

In-depth review: The new Arab Strap album is a sprawling, 14 track album - which is worth an hour of anyone's time www.heraldscotland.com/life_style/2... @arabstrap.scot @heraldscotland.bsky.social @rockactionrecords.scot

#NowPlaying loving the new @arabstrap.scot album, completing a run of 3 brilliant post-hiatus records. Bombastic post-punk disco and not a song goes by that doesn’t make you think, laugh or shudder for our times:

A big thank you to the mighty Arab Strap and to everybody who joined us for yesterday's instores! Aidan and Malcolm kindly signed a few extra copies of Half-Told Tales. Available instore and online now! Signed albums: reflexrecordshop.com/product/9296... @arabstrap.scot @rockactionrecords.scot

ALBUM DEL GIORNO: ARAB STRAP Half-Told Tales Il nono album di @arabstrap.scot è il terzo da quando si sono riuniti nel 2016 e vede il duo in ottima forma. Ad ogni ascolto, emerge qualcosa di nuovo e toccante ed è un risultato notevole, la prova che le cose possono sempre migliorare con il tempo.

Por su diversidad y valentía marca de la casa, por sus estupendas canciones y por su madurez, puede que “Half-Told Tales” ( @rockactionrecords.scot ) sea el mejor disco de @arabstrap.scot, sin duda al menos desde que regresaron en 2021. ✍️ José Manuel Caturla
