Tonight Aidan jumped off stage to chuck a prick of a heckler out and Hubby joked about fucking the Queen. The music was bloody good too.

I feel like they never really "go away" that long but I'm always happy to have em back.

it almost sounds like they were satisfying an Arab Strab Comeback Single checklist: ominous guitars, beats, strings, shagging. check!

Off-topic, but this must be one of the earliest threads on ILM; I don't see many that predate 2001.

A joy to have them back tbf, this is good.

New album contains zero surprises so far but it's solid as hell. Probably better than a couple of their original LPs.

I didn't know I wanted this, but halfway in it's clear I did. Very much.

Well, ILM does have (some of) its roots in a fan community for Belle & Sebastian, by whom see the third album.

Never really listened to this act before, but damn I enjoy this!

New album is great, pretty much what I want from an Arab Strap record in 2021.

"Another Clockwork Day" is somehow one of the most touchingly romantic things ever.

Now, this is what you call an Arab Strap album.
