Arab Strap is preparing for their 30th anniversary with a major concert in Glasgow and the release of their new album Half-Told Tales, set for 2026. The album, which explores themes such as societal corruption, climate change, and personal vulnerability, follows the release of the single Glamour Magick, a track reflecting on the pressure to appear youthful. The band has also shared a music video for the single and is featured in a September 2026 music review alongside other artists.
