First time listening to Arab Strap, and boy it's glorious. Notwithstanding any wanking, shagging, or pornographic references, the record is musically dense but not too grandiloquent for its own sake - ie: they know how to write proper songs not entirely relying on rich compositions; the singer's raspy and "old-man" voice perfectly fits the slowcore, post-punky indietronica at play here. His way of alternating between speaking and singing only accentuates the songs' rhythms and melodies. It's just full of rhythmelodies.

Where 'As Days Get Dark' triumphs even over some earlier Arab Strap albums is in how it turns the well familiar slowcore style ever-present in Strap's discography, but adds layers of slightly industrial, electronic and multi-faceted instrumental production. It adds a crucial dynamic dimension to the minimal song-writing.
