I was really sad to read that Arab Strap has called it quits... one of the most underrated bands of the past decade. I wanted to write a tribute to them, but I think Said the Gramaphone says it just right.I will miss their hung-over, filthy, melancholy poetry...

..and why don't you still make music??I finally found these guys while listening to a podcast the other day and for some reason, I had never paid any attention to them. Can anybody suggest some other material of theirs?

The beloved Arab Strap will be missed. But they’re leaving us one hell of a swan song. Chemikal Underground Records will release Ten Years of Tears in the U.S. Feb. 20.
