Arab Strap have shared another early single ahead of the release of their new album.
You're Not There is a melancholic song about a man who continues writing to his dead wife via text message. It serves as the fourth and final preview of 'I'm Totally Fine With It 👍 Don’t Give A Fuck Anymore 👍', which is due out on May 10 via Mogwai's Rock Action Records. One half of the Scottish duo, Aidan Moffat said:
"It's a very common part of the grief process now, and it can help the bereaved come to terms with their loss. I love the idea that our phones can function as a kind of modern Ouija board – the difference of course being that most people aren’t expecting an answer."
It follows the previously unveiled cuts from the record; Strawberry Moon, Allatonceness and Bliss.
Arab Strap will follow the LP's release with a spring UK tour. They also have shows across Ireland and Scotland lined up for September. Tickets are on sale now.
