 Joseph Arthur has released his latest album Days of Surrender on limited editioncassette with digital download ($15), the first formal cassette release of his career. Days of Surrender is available in limited edition formats that combine his paintings and artwork (not currently available on iTunes or streaming services).
One single CD of Days of Surrender from the mastering plant is available, and can only be bought with the purchase of Arthur's touring van, recently painted as an art piece (pictured below)."This is a living, breathing artifact of my own little journey through the bizarre contours of rock 'n' roll,” adds Joseph. “I celebrate this road I've taken by turning the vehicle into a holy roller. And beyond that, to package the last album I make in this style in its player (which still works great).”

"I was struck by the strength and visceral quality of Jo's paintings. They seem to connect to Expressionism, Art Brut, Basquiat and the Graffiti movement. I remember encouraging him to take the painting seriously and it has been great to watch its evolution. Jo is a really unusual, interesting and talented artist in music and art." -Peter Gabriel
"A vigorous, layered, expressionistic abstract sprawl, with a Basquiat-like, graffiti-esque urban edge and wild lashings of outsider primitivism." The London Telegraph
"A 'triple threat' artist since the mid-'90s, bridging music, poetry and painting with prolific creativity and unyielding inventiveness." - NPR Music
"Joseph Arthur writes, builds, paints, draws and creates because he has no choice. It is our luck that he does so." - Michael Stipe (REM)
"Being around Jo makes me want to create. That's all. That's everything." - Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam)
"A driven, visionary character... he might just be a genuine mad genius." - The Guardian |
