I have never seen, or heard of, that. Is it new?
Arab Strap | As Nights Get Dark | 2021
More cheery and upbeat stuff (not) from the Forfar boys. Great stuff if ever you are in the mood if not then you need to grit your teeth… As ever, hard hitting spoken lyrics (very akin to Leonard Cohen’s late sound) digging into humanity’s very soul. There is dark humour and good observation in their music and as such it’s totally recommended.
