Last Romance

Description:
From the elegantly bittersweet opening of Stink, the eccentric haze of Chat In Amsterdam, the urgent gallop of Speed:Date and the stunning, piano-driven coda of Dream Sequence, The Last Romance is an album that demands repeated listens and emphatically shatters the myth that Arab Strap are dedicated purveyors of doom and gloom.
It's a rare thing to have an album as lyrically provocative as it is musically intrepid: from the reflective appreciation of Fine Tuning to the album's triumphant conclusion in There Is No Ending, The Last Romance is anything but an exercise in misery. It's like the dark side in Star Wars though quicker, faster.more seductive."
After five critically acclaimed albums and a brace of solo projects, Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton have conspired to produce an album that reaffirms their status as uniquely gifted songwriters and maverick artists in an increasingly benign musical landscape. Ten years into a gloriously prolific career, it's fair to acknowledge that if familiarity doesn't necessarily breed contempt, it is certainly capable of inciting indifference. With The Last Romance, Arab Strap have provided us with the perfect opportunity to fall in love with them all over again.
