"One of our most emotionally revealing and talented singer-songwriters" Vanity Fair
This spring marks the return of 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 a full-length release on August 5th. The final two will be available nationally May 13th and June 24th.
'Could We Survive' and 'Crazy Rain' are the follow-ups to Joseph's two critically acclaimed full-length albums, both released in 2006 - 'Let's Just Be' ("it's a ride and it's a good one" NY Times) and 'Nuclear Daydream,' hailed by Paste Magazine as "endlessly ponderable and disturbingly beautiful."
He has written, performed and produced nearly all of the music on these five albums and recorded most of the material in his newly opened Brooklyn art gallery, the Museum of Modern Arthur.
COULD WE SURVIVE - track listing: 1) "Rages of Babylon," 2) "Morning Cup," 3) "Shadows of Lies," 4) "Could We Survive," 5) "Walk Away," 6) "King of the Pavement"
