Arab Strap

Arab Strap is a post-folk indie duo from Scotland. Vocalist Aidan Mofatt and multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Middleton met in Falkirk, Scotland, bonded over their mutual love for Drag City recording artists such as Smog and Will Oldham, and began a collaboration in 1995. Arab Strap's marked characterics include snide, rather sordid lyrics and a brooding, spare sound.

Moffat records as a solo artist under the name Lucky Pierre. This work is also characterised by brooding, spare sound but its instrumental in nature.
