Overview
- Arab Strap, which announced the album Wednesday, set a September 4 release on Rock Action Records.
- The lead single You You You arrived with a Luke Bovill–directed video and a sound the band calls a “disco‑metal incantation.”
- Aidan Moffat says the lyrics face shared modern worries with dark humor, including a line about Spotify funding “weapons‑grade AI.”
- The duo also posted UK and European tour dates, opening October 12 in Dublin before shows in Manchester, London, Leeds, Stockton, Glasgow, and across Central and Southeast Europe.
- The new record follows their 2024 album and continues a run defined by pulsing electronics, punchy guitars, and acerbic storytelling.
