Aidan Moffat & the Best-Ofs @ Stereo, Glasgow, 8 May

Article by Chris Buckle | 20 Apr 2009

Aidan “f***ing” Moffat’s expletive-strewn lyrics have never been kind to the prudish. Which is maybe how his new album can feature such bon mottes as “we’re all slaves to our erections” yet still sound like a step away from the debauched carnality of previous releases. His frankness means you probably won’t want to take granny along, but those less shockable shouldn’t miss out - the heartfelt intimacy of tracks like Lullaby For Unborn Child should translate well to Stereo’s basement, while the Best Ofs’ melodies will help smooth over the squirming if things hit too close to home for comfort.

7.30pm, £10
