The Week Never Starts Round Here

by Arab Strap

The Week Never Starts Round Here cover art

The Scottish duo debuted with an incredibly intimate, starkly unromantic documentation of weekend debauchery and decaying relationships. Aidan Moffat's heavily accented, conversational spoken-word delivery recounts bleak, hyper-specific narratives over incredibly sparse drum machines and lo-fi acoustic strumming. The brutally honest, slightly uncomfortable realism firmly established them as unique, crucial voices within the Glasgow indie scene.
