Arab Strap come the post-folk indie band from Scotland signed to independent record label Chemikal Underground. Vocalist Aidan Moffat & multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Middleton met within Falkirk, Scotland, bonded all over their reciprocal love for Drag City recording artists like Smog and Will Oldham, and began the collaboration within 1995. A b& is completed by fiddler Jenny Reeve and violoncellist Stacey Sievewright.

Arab Strap's marked characteristics include supercilious, like sordid lyrics -- described per [http://www.nme.com/reviews/2811.htm NME] when "fly on the duvet vignettes" & the pondering, spare healthy.

Moffat records as a solo creative person under a title Lucky Pierre, using this act too characterized by brooding, spare healthy however is instrumental within nature and severity. Malcolm Middleton too has the solo career under his have title, & his music is freed by Chemikal Underground.
