Pop artists tend to be identified by their musical stylings. But some, like Scottish duo Arab Strap, are associated more with specific themes.

Over a decade they moved from ambient electronica to real pop songs with choruses and bridges, and now the evolution is complete: They announced in September that they're calling it quits.
