Scotland's incomparable and influential band Arab Strap returns with their ninth studio album »Half-Told Tales«, set to be released by Rock Action Records, almost exactly 30 years after the release of the beloved duo's very first single, »The First Big Weekend«. As a follow-up to 2024's acclaimed album »I'm totally fine with it don't give a fuck anymore«, »Half-Told Tales« is rich in Aidan Moffat's and Malcolm Middleton's trademark wit and black humour, while creating moments from quiet thoughtfulness to a self-described »disco metal evocation that could make you dance«. The album, which also features the single "You You You", was recorded with long-time collaborator Paul Savage (Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand). CD 2026 New
