Chemikal Underground

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.

Chemikal Underground is a Scottish music label that was founded in 1995 by the band The Delgados. With a rich history spanning over two decades, this label has established itself as a prominent force in the music industry. Known for their innovative and diverse roster of artists, Chemikal Underground continues to push boundaries and nurture talent.
Since its inception, Chemikal Underground has been dedicated to supporting independent musicians and promoting their work. Their commitment to artistic integrity and creativity is evident in the wide range of genres represented on their roster. From indie rock to electronic music, this label offers something for every musical taste.
With an impressive catalog of releases under their belt, Chemikal Underground has garnered critical acclaim and numerous accolades throughout the years. Their influence on the Scottish music scene cannot be overstated, as they have played a pivotal role in shaping its identity and fostering local talent.

The astonishing debut album from the Strap originally released in 1996 marking the birth of one of the UK's most original talents. A little scrappier than later releases buy hey, Middleton's music and Moffat's viciously straight to the point (but still beautifully poetic) lyrics combine for an album of after hours loneliness, lust, disappointment, drink, drugs and love. No one can write songs quite as magnificent as Blood, The Clearing, Deeper and the utter classic that is The First Big Weekend. Essential!

2CD - Deluxe double CD version with the band's first peel session plus their first live performance at King Tuts in October 1996.
