about
Gentle Sinners is the project of James Graham (The Twilight Sad) & Aidan Moffat (Arab Strap). The pair first discussed collaborating in February 2021 when they went for a walk around Glasgow during the third coronavirus lockdown, during which Graham expressed his desire to leave his creative comfort zone. “I love being in The Twilight Sad, I’ll write with Andy [MacFarlane, Twilight Sad guitarist] for the rest of my life, but I wanted to see what else I could do, and push it as far as I possibly could,” Graham told NME. “Then Aidan said: ‘Aye, I’ve got some stuff!'” Moffatt had recently finished work on Arab Strap’s most recent acclaimed album ‘As Days Get Dark’. “After a big album with a lot of words in it, I get sick of my own voice,” Moffat told NME, “so I tend to retreat a little bit and do instrumental stuff. It was pure serendipity that James was looking to do something that way.” by Patricia Clarke for NME User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
