Live concert and album signing session by the Scottish indie pop band Arab Strap at Resident Music.
Arab Strap are playing Resident Music on Saturday 5 September, and there's a bit more to it than just the gig: they're staying on for a record signing afterwards. It's a double-bill of a night, with the concert and the signing both happening under one roof, so you can hear them play and then get your record signed in the same trip.
For those who've followed them, the Scottish duo's sound has always been built on a particular kind of starkness—sparse arrangements and a deadpan, spoken-word delivery that lets the lyrics do the heavy lifting. It's music that doesn't hide behind a wall of sound, and that's exactly what makes it work in a room like Resident Music, where the focus stays on the songs rather than the spectacle.
Having them in Brighton is a good chance to catch them in a setting that suits that approach. The signing is the part that sets this apart from a standard tour date, too; it's a rare moment to actually meet the band and get a record signed, rather than just watching from the crowd. If you've got a favourite album of theirs, this is the night to bring it along.
