Bleep

Arab Strap have breathed their last, and this is their headstone. Far from the lazy old singles-collection-with- two-new-tracks, Ten Years Of Tears is a lovingly compiled selection by the dour Falkirk duo, from an early demo, Islands, to the final single, There Is No Ending, with a heap of outtakes, live cuts, rarities and reworks in between. Its all classic Strap: tales of bad sex and worse relationships told over countless beers in dismal pubs. Wonderful stuff, although if youre of a gloomy disposition, approach with caution.
