A journey! Once you place the record on the turntable and set the needle down, this is all you can expect from this album... rich in seemingly dark atmospheres... almost as if you were trying to look at someone in the shadows, from a distance, squinting your eyes... "Compersion Pt.1" picks up the pace a bit... "Kebabylon" brings it back down with its melodies dictated by wind instruments!! A truly very intimate album, one of those records you'd listen to in the evening, after work... you're there on the couch, tired after a long day, you pour yourself a whisky and listen to this record, and you think: now the day is truly over!

"As Days Get Dark by Arab Strap is a fantastic album, one of those that slowly but inevitably creeps under your skin."
Aidan Moffat’s unique way of singing, with that mix of spoken word and singing, is raw, dark, carnal, never sycophantic or reassuring.
