Joseph Arthur To Release 500 Records in 2008…
Joseph Arthur and his sunglasses…
Okay, I added a couple of zeros to that number but still, five awesome releases from Joseph Arthur is like Christmas coming early for anyone who likes great music. Take that Nickelback.
This spring marks the return of maverick songsmith Joseph Arthur with the release of two EPs - the raw, atmospheric pop of ‘Could We Survive’ (March 18th / Lonely Astronaut), followed by the near-techno and wonderfully chaotic ‘Crazy Rain’ (April 15th). Arthur and his own label, Lonely Astronaut Records, will be releasing a series of four EPs this year, leading up to the full-length ‘All You Need Is Nothing’ (August 5th). The final two will be available nationally May 13th and June 24th.
Arthur and his sweet suicide shades are performing at SXSW this week. Then it’s off to Dallas before heading back to Brooklyn for a record release at MOMR. Cherrybomb recommends that you check out JA live any chance you get. And while I would also tell you to pick up Arthur’s entire catalog, you should definitely make time for these four records, right now:
Come to Where I’m From (2000) - Download: In The Sun
Redemption’s Son (2002) - Download: Honey and the Moon
Our Shadows Will Remain (2004) - Download: Can’t Exist
Nuclear Daydream (2006) - Download: Nuclear Daydream and Slide Away
