<p>Arab Strap is an indie pop band hailing from Falkirk, Scotland. Formed in 1995, the band gained recognition for their unique blend of melancholic lyrics and atmospheric soundscapes. After a successful run until 2006, Arab Strap went on hiatus but reunited several times since then, with notable comebacks in 2011, 2016, and most recently in 2020. With their emotionally charged music and captivating performances, Arab Strap continues to captivate audiences worldwide.</p>

These two songs were written, recorded and mixed during the sessions for Arab Straps' first album in forever "As Days Get Dark". As much as they loved them, they couldn't find a place for them on the final album. Maybe it's because they seem to have their own distinct identities, but sometimes a song just sounds better on its own, when it's not part of a crowd and vying for attention. So, to celebrate the anniversary of the album's release, we present As Days Get Dark's two runaway loners; a couple of black sheep who might not click with the rest of the family but, even though they aren't very happy, are still worth a cuddle.<br>
