Just in is the last ever ARAB STRAP album called Ten Years of Tears (very apt) and I think I might start to get them just a little bit late. I really liked the 1st album and I thought the Last Romance was ace as well. They have very occasionally come up with moments of brilliance and if you like your music sardonic and grim with lashings of self deprecation then you're onto a winner.  This is a comp of old singles, hard to get tracks, live things and probably more things as well.... many, many things indeed. Odds and sods compiled from Moffat and Middleton's sock drawer which are make for an enjoyable yet depressing booze fuelled romp, through grim sex, grim misery and general debauchery (also grim).  They will be sorely missed by pissheads everywhere. Cocking marvelous.  (PS... it's worth every penny for the incredible photo of them inside all suited up..... brilliant)

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
