I'm totally fine with it ๐ don't give a fuck anymore ๐ (Vinyl LP)
FLYING OUT'S #46 ALBUM OF 2024
Most everything you need to know about Scottish sleaze-curmudgeons Arab Strap is contained in their album title, complete with sarcastic use of emojis and shrugging dismissiveness; theyโre one of the most simultaneously dour and hilarious acts in the biz. Having taken a decade off and reformed in 2016, the pairing of musician Malcolm Middleton and burly bard Aidan Moffatt are these days signed to Mogwaiโs Rock Action label, and have been churning out a sound thatโs as devastating and devilish as youโd expect. Listen, donโt listen, theyโre totally fine with it, and they donโt give a ๐anymore. - Flying Out
Following their critically-acclaimed UK Top 20 albumย As Days Get Dark, Arab Strap return with their 2nd long player for Mogwaiโs Rock Action Records with the excellent titledย Iโm totally fine with it ๐donโt give a fuck anymore ๐.
Almost 28 years after their debut, Arab Strap have never sounded more essential, and this new record is a fierce testament to their laser focus on wider horizons. Written and performed exclusively by Malcolm Middleton & Aidan Moffat, and finessed with longtime collaborator Paul Savage, the album furthers the bandโs transformation from swooning, slow-core romantics to raging, alt-pop chroniclers.ย
