Arab Strap formed in 1995 in Falkirk, influenced by the likes of Smog and Will Oldham. A largely electro-acoustic duo of Malcolm Middleton and Aidan Moffat, and known for their booze-tinged, dry, social commentaries, they released their first record on the Chemikal Underground label in 1996.This track is from their penultimate album, 2003's Monday At The Hug & Pint.
