The second studio long-player from Aidan Moffat (Arab Strap) and multi-instrumentalist and composer Bill Wells, the Glasgow-centric Most Important Place in the World takes its title from an IKEA slogan, and is, according to Moffat, "a salute to the city and the secrets she hides; its ticking clocks and dirty dishes; its raising the devil on old equipment. It’s about the life we want versus the life we need –- and deciding which is which."

After twenty years, Aidan Moffat still finds grace in decay, and The Most Important Place In The World, his latest collaboration with jazz veteran Bill Wells, is particularly reflective.
