AMG Review of Cherubs
Andy Kellman
All Music GuideThe leadoff song from 2000's Elephant Shoe was issued as a four-song single in the U.K. and the U.S. "Cherubs" is typical Arab Strap, with a slow, simplistic drum-machine beat supported by Malcolm Middleton's fragile guitar work, a gorgeous sample of twinkling piano, and atmospheric shadings. Aidan Moffat's lyrics are surprisingly optimistic, relating a hallucinatory image of post-coital bliss. The three B-sides -- "Motown Answers," "An Eventful Day," and "Pulled" -- are definitely second-drawer material, for hardcore fans only. The video for the A-side is also included on Jetset's U.S. version; on Go Beat's U.K. edition, a cover of the "Ben Kenobi Theme" from Star Wars can be found by scrolling backwards from the first track.
