The Scottish post-folk couple Arab Strap were formed in mid-1995 by vocalist Aidan Moffat and multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Middleton, longtime friends wHO subsequently days of exchanging cassettes of their several bands distinct to in the end start collaborating together. Upon sign language to the hip Chemikal Underground label, they issued their debut individual, the utter and low "The First Big Weekend"; the song was a major critical pip, with Britain's Radio One declaring it the best record of the decade. In late 1996, Arab Strap issued their full-length debut, The Week Never Starts Round Here, followed a year afterward by the EP The Girls of Summer. In 1998, after marking a hit with their remix of David Holmes' "Don't Die Just Yet," Arab Strap issued their second LP, Philophobia. Elephant Shoe (2000), The Red Thread (2001), Monday at the Hug and Pint (2003), and The Last Romance (2005) followed. The band felt it had "run its course" by fall 2006, as an official promulgation was made of their disbandment. They issued the farewell, quasi-greatest-hits digest Ten Years of Tears that November and embarked on a concluding U.K. tour before career it a day.
