Singer, songwriter

Joseph Arthur, thanks to four critically well-received albums, qualifies as one of the post-millennium's most thoughtful singer-songwriters. At the same time Arthur has also worked extensively as a painter, building abstract, "Earth-inspired" works. His dual pastimes, in fact, have led to a fusion between his music and his painting. Arthur creates his own album covers, and has even used his paintings as backdrops for live performances. Even though he is critically acclaimed, however, Arthur has struggled to find a larger audience for his music. "Arthur's fans include Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, David Bowie and Michael Stipe," wrote Mark Edwards in the London Sunday Times. "Despite this, Arthur remains underbought." But Arthur has remained undeterred. He told Rob Thomas in the Madison, Wisconsin, Capital Times, "That's not my goal when I'm making a record, to have a song go huge on the radio…. I enjoy making records and singing for my supper, and I'll probably be able to do that for as long as I want."

Arthur was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. His love of music began at a young age, when his aunt bought him a synthesizer. Arthur forced himself to finish high school, and at 18 he moved to Atlanta, where he worked a number of small-time jobs—salesman, music shop gofer, and pizza chef—to support himself. "I spent a good four years there," Arthur told Larry Katz in the Boston Herald. "It was happening compared to Akron. There was a really thriving music scene and I got way involved in that."

Soon Arthur was using his guitar to write songs, and when he was 21 he started singing. In 1996 he sent a demo recording to pop-singer Peter Gabriel, a recording that led to an audition with Gabriel and Lou Reed. This led to Arthur's real break in 1997 when Gabriel signed him to his record label, Real World. "The first tape I made wound up with Peter Gabriel," he told Katz. "I got really lucky."

Arthur proceeded to record his debut, Big City Secrets, during the same year, introducing listeners to his self-reflective songs and eclectic musicianship. "Arthur's music," noted Evan Cater in All Music Guide, "employs a wide range of musical influences, adorning his songs with instruments as diverse as hurdy gurdy … and harmonic missiles." The album was embraced by the music press, and his brooding songs were compared to those of writers like Leonard Cohen and the late Jeff Buckley, but Big City Secrets sold few copies. Arthur, unconcerned with his lack of immediate success, returned to Akron, where he delved deeply into creating abstract art. He also continued to perform sporadically, making appearances at Gabriel's annual World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) shows during the 1990s.

Arthur returned in 1999 with Vacancy, a seven song EP. The EP's packaging design by Arthur and Zachary Larner received a Grammy nomination for Best Recording Package. In 2000 Arthur followed with the full-length Come to Where I'm From, distributed on Virgin Records. The album "exhibits a more polished and accessible sound," wrote Cater, "without sacrificing the adventurous spirit that has been Arthur's greatest asset." Arthur also benefited from the presence of producer T-Bone Burnett, known for his work with Elvis Costello, Sam Phillips, and the Counting Crows.

In 2002 Arthur released his third album, Redemption's Son, on Enjoy/Real World. "Redemption's Son achieves a sophisticated marriage of traditional songwriting craft and avant-garde production," noted Robert L. Doeschuk in All Music Guide. Despite the positive response, Arthur expressed dissatisfaction with his record label's handling of the release. Real World's parent company, Universal, postponed the release of Redemption's Song, and Arthur eventually decided to leave for another—and possibly smaller—label. "I think people who remain slightly under the radar are sort of the luckiest," Arthur told Lucas Hanfit in the New York Observer. "Artists who have a good-enough fan base to make a living, but never getting too huge, because ultimately that messes you up."

In 2005 Arthur's profile received a temporary boost when he signed to 14th Floor in the United Kingdom, a label that had worked with a number of singer-songwriters. He also aligned himself with the small Vector Records in the United States. In September Arthur released Our Shadows Will Remain, an album that once again showed the artist's willingness to push the boundaries of his music.

In 2005 Arthur's dual talents as a musician and a painter came together. It was time to tour again, but he was clearly enjoying his work as a painter. He had used his paintings as backdrops for his concerts in the past, but this time he imagined taking it to the next level: he would paint during concerts. "The first time I tried it was at the Troubadour in LA," he told Edwards. "The first thing I did when I got on stage was make a charcoal drawing on the canvas. Then I grabbed a guitar and started playing. I set up some loops on the guitar, left them playing and went and added more to the canvas." When one concert audience failed to respond to Arthur's method, he won them over by juggling fruit that he then tossed at the painting.

While Arthur's audience continues to grow, thanks to a steady stream of releases and a busy concert schedule, he remains more committed to making good music than to success. "I'm always trying to do different things, and experimentation is a big part of what motivates me," Arthur told Brian Baker of Cincinnati's City Beat. "I like to challenge myself." Like his expressionistic paintings, his struggle has been to follow his inner vision, no matter how dark that vision may be. "For me, I feel like I'm just developing," he told Katz. "In music there's the whole myth of being really young and doing a bunch of things and then burning out quick. But I'm trying to develop as an artist."

Biography

Ohio native Joseph Arthur was discovered by Peter Gabriel, who signed the folk-rock songwriter to Real World Records in the mid-'90s. Arthur's debut, Big City Secrets, was released in 1997 and went fairly unnoticed, despite an eclectic, brooding sound influenced by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Joe Henry, and the late Jeff Buckley. Gabriel influenced Arthur's music, too, exposing his songwriting to a global palette, roping him into Gabriel's annual WOMAD shows, and giving him a roster of fellow labelmates -- including Ben Harper and Gomez -- to tour with during the decade's latter half. Arthur steadily earned an audience of his own, attracting some attention for his work as a visual artist as well.

In 1999, Arthur released the seven-song EP Vacancy and received a Grammy nomination for Best Recording Package, thanks to the hand-folded design by art director Zachary Larner. The sophomore effort Come to Where I'm From appeared one year later, featuring production from alt-country icon T-Bone Burnett and distribution from Virgin Records. The album showed Arthur's musical fondness for basic country-rock and Americana, and he spent the rest of 2000 headlining club shows across North America and serving as an opening act for The The. Two years later, Arthur issued the four-EP series Junkyard Hearts, a precursor to his third opus, Redemption's Son. North American dates with Tracy Chapman followed in summer 2003, then one year later the critically acclaimed Our Shadows Will Remain appeared.

After starting his own label, Lonely Astronaut (distributed by Sony), Arthur published a collection of his artwork entitled We Almost Made It, complete with a mostly instrumental accompaniment, The Invisible Parade, during the spring of 2006. A few months later, fans were greeted with his fifth record, Nuclear Daydream, as well as a tour that featured Arthur with a full live band, something he had never done before. Arthur also provided vocals for "Sublime," from the Twilight Singers' iTunes-only five-song EP A Stitch in Time. In April 2007, he partnered with his band once again to record Let's Just Be, the second album released on his own label.

The following year brought even more material, with Arthur releasing no less than four EPs during the first seven months of the year (Could We Survive, Crazy Rain, Vagabond Skies, Foreign Girls) and a full album, Temporary People, in September. In February 2010, Arthur teamed up with Dhani Harrison and Ben Harper to form Fistful of Mercy, a folk-rock trio whose debut album, As I Call You Down, was released later that year. The band toured off and on during 2010 and continued playing sporadic shows in 2011, but that didn't stop Arthur from furthering his solo career with The Graduation Ceremony, which appeared in May 2011. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

Joseph Arthur (born September 28, 1971) is an American singer-songwriter and artist from Akron, Ohio. Combining poetic lyrics with a layered sonic palette, Arthur has built his reputation over the years through critically acclaimed releases and constant touring; his unique solo live performances incorporate the use of a number of distortion and loop pedals, and his shows are recorded live at the soundboard and made available to concertgoers immediately following the show on recordable media. Arthur was discovered by Peter Gabriel in the mid-'90s, and signed to Gabriel's Real World label as the first North American artist on the label's roster. Arthur released his debut album Big City Secrets (1997) and follow-up, Come to Where I'm From (2000) on Real World before signing with various independent labels between 2002 and 2006. He established his own record label, Lonely Astronaut Records, in 2006, and released two studio albums, Let's Just Be (2007) and Temporary People (2008) with backing band The Lonely Astronauts. Arthur subsequently returned to performing and recording as a solo artist, releasing The Graduation Ceremony in 2011 and the double album, Redemption City in 2012.

Arthur is also an acclaimed painter and designer. His artwork has graced the sleeves of his entire discography; the sleeve design for his 1999 extended play Vacancy was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package.

Musical history

Early life and Big City Secrets

Joseph began writing and playing music in his early teens, after inheriting an electronic keyboard from his aunt.[1][2] At age 16, he played bass in a blues band called Frankie Starr and the Chill Factor, which disbanded by 1995.[3] Joseph graduated from Firestone High School in 1990 and continued developing his music.[4] In the early '90s, Arthur relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, continuing to record home demos, playing local clubs and working as a guitar salesman at Clark Music Store.[5]

In 1996, Peter Gabriel's A&R associate Harvey Schartz presented Gabriel with a demo of Arthur's first EP, Cut and Blind. Gabriel and Schwartz arranged a live audition at The Fez nightclub in New York City, and Arthur flew up from Atlanta. The night was a success; not only was Lou Reed a guest in the audience, but within a few months Arthur was officially signed,[5] making him the first American recording artist signed to Gabriel's label[6] Arthur recorded his debut album at Gabriel's Real World Studios in England with producer Markus Dravs (Björk, Coldplay, Arcade Fire). The debut album Big City Secrets was released worldwide in spring 1997, and Arthur joined Gabriel's WOMAD tour in Europe.[7] Big City Secrets displayed Arthur's often angsty and emotionally-wrought lyrics coupled with diverse instrumentation, which he himself described as "someone struggling to heal over experimental folk-rock",[8] but went virtually unnoticed by the mainstream.[9] Two years later, he recorded an EP called Vacancy, which earned him a Grammy nomination in 2000 for best recording package.

2000–2003: Come to Where I'm From and Redemption's Son

In April 2000, Arthur released his sophomore studio album Come to Where I'm From, which was co-produced with T-Bone Burnett and Tchad Blake. The album exhibited a more polished and accessible sound,[10] and received positive accolades from Pitchfork Media[11] and Entertainment Weekly.[12] Arthur began playing for larger audiences, opening for Ben Harper and Gomez. During that same period, he released a promotional live album recorded at the Gypsy Tea Room bar in Dallas, Texas.

After releasing a series of four EPs called Junkyard Hearts, which were only available to purchase at his live shows, his third album, Redemption's Son, came out in May 2002 in the UK. The American release was delayed until November 2002 since Arthur had been dropped by EMI in North America, having been picked up by Universal Music Group imprint Enjoy Records.[13] The double album furthered the themes of emotional and spiritual dislocation found on Come to Where I'm From,[14] and was described by Allmusic reviewer Thom Jurek as a "sleeper hit."[15]

While on tour, Arthur regularly released recordings of his performances soon after each show. He also recorded an album with alternative rock side project Holding the Void, featuring himself on vocals and guitar, Pat Sansone on vocals and bass, and Rene Lopez on vocals and drums.[16] In Summer 2003, he toured with Tracy Chapman in the US.[17]

2004–2006: Our Shadows Will Remain

Arthur signed a new recording contract with Vector Recordings and began recording his fourth studio album, Our Shadows Will Remain across New Orleans, New York City, London, and Prague. The album was released in September 2004, and was Arthur's first album to feature string arrangements, provided by the City of Prague Philharmonic. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim; Allmusic's Thom Jurek awarded the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, praising that, "Arthur is in a class of his own and Our Shadows Will Remain is a monstrous, memorable outing, his finest moment in a career that is thus far full of them."[15] Entertainment Weekly gave the album an A rating, hailing the album as "especially forceful and cohesive";[18] The Guardian hailed that Joseph "might just be a genuine mad genius";[19] Stylus Magazine gave the album an A– rating;[20] and Chris Rubin of Rolling Stone named Our Shadows Will Remain as the number 1 album of the year 2004 in the year-end critics' pick list.

Arthur toured the US alone and with Joan Wasser to promote the album, and a new EP called And the Thieves Are Gone, which collected unreleased tracks from the Shadows recording sessions, came out in December. Shortly afterward, Arthur went on a brief tour of Europe with R.E.M..[21] Our Shadows Will Remain was picked up by 14th Floor Records for distribution in the United Kingdom in 2005, which yielded the release of four singles: "Can't Exist" in July, "Even Tho" in September, "Devil's Broom" in February 2006 to coincide with his first headlining appearance at London's Shepherds Bush Empire, and a reissue of "Can't Exist" in May 2006, although none of the singles charted on the UK Singles Chart.

In August 2006, Joseph was invited to help launch the project A River Blue, where a group of young people in northern Uganda were brought together to participate in a music, drama, and art festival.[22] Joseph also recorded the song "A River Blue" for the foundation.[23]

2006–2007: Lonely Astronaut Records, Nuclear Daydream, and Let's Just Be

Joseph Arthur performing live at Avalanche Records, Glasgow, in February 2006.

Also in 2006, Arthur started the record label Lonely Astronaut Records with longtime professional partner Lauren Pattenaude. He released a book entitled We Almost Made It, a visual collection of his artworks, along with an accompanying instrumental CD titled The Invisible Parade in May 2006.[24] In September 2006, Arthur released his fifth studio album, Nuclear Daydream, which was recorded in Berlin and Los Angeles. The album would be the first release on his new label. Joseph then embarked on a worldwide tour with his new backing band, The Lonely Astronauts.

His song "In the Sun" was covered by Michael Stipe of R.E.M. and Chris Martin of Coldplay in 2006 for a Hurricane Katrina relief EP. The EP includes six versions of the song, one featuring Arthur himself singing with Stipe and another remixed by Justin Timberlake, and is available only on iTunes. On March 26, 2007, Joseph's then-UK label 14th Floor Records released a re-recorded version of his 2002 song "Honey and the Moon" as a special single in the UK only. In April, he released his sixth studio album, Let's Just Be, and embarked on an extensive US tour. This was Joseph's first album with The Lonely Astronauts; the band recorded as many as 80 songs in late 2006,[25] with only sixteen appearing on the album. The album was released to lukewarm critical reception, with Pitchfork Media calling the album "unfocused" and "sloppy", summarizing that the album "sounds like it came together on the fly, in jam sessions that didn't stem from any kind of solid idea."[26]

2008–present

In 2008, Arthur released four EPs in a four-month span: Could We Survive on March 18, Crazy Rain on April 15, Vagabond Skies on June 10, and Foreign Girls on July 8.[27] Regarding these releases, Arthur noted, "I have so much music piled up, like strange animals in a cosmic cage begging for release. The jails were overcrowded. I had to let some of them go."[28] He played seven solo shows during the SXSW 2008 Festival, six in Austin and one in Dallas.[29] Live dates in Europe and an extensive US solo tour coincided with the new releases.[30] Temporary People, his seventh full-length studio album and second with The Lonely Astronauts, was released on September 30, 2008. The album was received warmly by critics, with The Times Online stating that it "evokes the loose, rocking swagger and country melancholy of early-1970s Stones",[31] and Crawdaddy! noting that Arthur "treats his audience to a brawny and brooding rock album, notching his most fully realized LP to date in the process."[32] The album came out in Europe in late October, and afterward Arthur embarked on a solo tour and opened for Tracy Chapman on her six-week "Our Bright Future" European tour,[33] followed by tour dates in Canada.

Arthur recorded a cover of The Afghan Whigs's "Step Into the Light" from their 1996 album Black Love for the tribute album, Summer's Kiss: A Tribute to The Afghan Whigs. Following UK tour dates with The Lonely Astronauts in July, Arthur embarked on a solo tour of France in October 2009.[34] A reissue of his 2006 album Nuclear Daydream with six previously unreleased bonus tracks was released during this tour.[35]

Arthur, Ben Harper, and Dhani Harrison formed the supergroup trio Fistful of Mercy in 2010, and their debut album As I Call You Down was released on October 5, 2010.[36] Arthur's first solo studio album since Nuclear Daydream, titled The Graduation Ceremony,was released on May 23, 2011.[37][38]

Visual art

Arthur has also received acclaim as a painter and designer. His artwork has graced the sleeves of his entire discography, notably the album covers for Come to Where I'm From and Our Shadows Will Remain, which included a 36-page booklet featuring prints of his original artwork, and was released with a die-cut outer slipcase sleeve.[39] Arthur and frequent graphic design collaborator Zachary Larner's sleeve design for the 1999 extended play Vacancy was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. He staged his first art exhibition in 2006 at the Vertigo Gallery in London from February 10 to February 12,[40] and released a 110-page book entitled We Almost Made It, a visual collection of his artworks, along with an accompanying instrumental CD titled The Invisible Parade in May 2006.

He set up his personal art gallery The Museum of Modern Arthur in June 2007 as a brick and mortar location in Brooklyn's DUMBO District.[41] According to an article on Stereogum.com, Joseph and the MOMAR were evicted from the building. Joseph held a record release party for Temporary People before the closing of the gallery in September 2008.[42] The MOMAR gallery soon morphed into an online gallery.[43]

Live performances

Arthur's one man band live performances incorporate looping techniques and several distortion techniques. His live performances are recorded through to the last note and then burnt to CD-R. They are sold immediately to fans after the concert.[44] Beginning with his fall 2006 tour, Arthur incorporated a full band, The Lonely Astronauts. They are no longer together.

The Lonely Astronauts were:

  • Joseph Arthur – vocals, guitar
  • Kraig Jarret Johnson – guitar, keyboards, vocals
  • Jennifer "Jen" Turner – guitar, vocals
  • Sibyl Buck – bass, vocals
  • Greg "G. Wiz" Wieczorek – drums, vocals

Instruments and loops

Of the guitars that Joseph utilizes, his primary acoustic guitar is an Irish Lowden 012C.[45] Some of Joseph's other guitars include a Garrison G-50-CE, a custom-painted Godin Kingpin CWII, a Gibson ES-335, and a '70s Fender Strat.

To incorporate his looping techniques, Arthur uses a myriad of rackmounted units of the Lexicon JamMan. He plays his guitars through an impressive floor of effects pedals.[46] When performing solo live, he often records a sample of guitar, percussion, or vocals which he can then loop periodically throughout a song, allowing him to perform verses with the added effect of harmonizing with himself.
