Arab Strap have unveiled Strawberry Moon as the second one unmarried from their excellently-titled impending album I’m completely nice with it 👍 don’t give a fuck anymore 👍, with an accompanying video that includes band participants Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton portraying a clergyman and a werewolf in a dangerous recreation of cat-and-mouse around the streets of Glasgow.
The video marks the primary time the duo have absolutely seemed in a video in combination in nearly 25 years.
“Aye, it is been some time,” Moffat says. “So we idea we will have to pass all out – costumes, makeup, particular results, appearing, mobility scooter and all.”
“Lyrically, it is perhaps essentially the most private music at the album,” Moffat provides, “a couple of duration once I wasn’t doing rather well, each mentally and bodily. I used to be strolling with a cane and in ache more often than not, and drowning my sorrows too, trapped at house and looking at the levels of the moon via a window. The moon at all times turns out to pop up in my lyrics, and the music’s a type of secular hymn in reward of her consistent alternate. She’s at all times a convenience, at all times hopeful, and at all times makes me smile.”
