Aidan Moffat and RM Hubbert

Fans of all good music to come out of Scotland will be familiar with the name Aidan Moffat. A stalwart of Glasgow, one half of Arab Strap and Scottish Album of the Year winner among many other accolades joins fellow SAY Award winner and Chemikal Underground label mate RM Hubbert for this new project, this time out on Rock Action Records.

Here Lies The Body

“The album title has a dual meaning, sex & death.” These are common themes from Aidan Moffat; since his days with Arab Strap, he has explored these subjects with a grace and grit that plunges deep into the human soul. But this is no re-hash of the past, rather a further leap forward for Moffat, now teaming up with singer and guitarist extraordinaire, RM Hubbert. The result is a moving, diverse record of great beauty that straddles a line between light and dark and faith and fear; at once fun, funny, and forlorn; melancholic and sanguine and inherently melodic throughout.
