Joseph Arthur Redemption's Son 15th Anniversary Tour Starts This Month / KCSN Debuts New Track

JOSEPH ARTHUR TO PERFORM REDEMPTION’S SON

IN ITS ENTIRETY DURING A LIMITED RUN TOUR

 

 

REAL WORLD TO RELEASE 15TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF REDEMPTION’S SON

WITH BONUS MATERIAL ON JUNE 23rd

 

KCSN (Los Angeles) Debuts "Forgive Your Heart"

http://www.kcsn.org/blog/mookie/joseph-arthur-redemptions-son-reissue/

 

 

June 6, 2017 – Anyone who has followed the career of Joseph Arthur since he was personally discovered by Peter Gabriel back in 1997, knows Arthur has never been an artist to look back. 

 

Over the course of his career to date, he’s released fourteen albums under his own name, eleven official EP’s and has been involved with several high profile side projects including Fistful Of Mercy (with Ben Harper & Dhani Harrison). 

 

However, when it was brought to Arthur’s attention that 2017 marked the 15^th Anniversary of one of his most beloved albums, Redemption’s Son, he decided he wanted to do something to honor the occasion.

 

Joseph Arthur will also be embarking on a limited run solo tour beginning on June 20^th in Boston where he’ll play the album from beginning to end.

 

“I’ve never done this album from start to finish live,” Arthur remarked.  “But Redemption’s Son was always a special record to me and my fans and this clearly seemed like the right time to do it.  As I’ve been saying recently to my friends, listening to this album again after all of these years has re-inspired me which honestly was a complete surprise.”

 

On June 23^rd, Real World Records, will re-issue the original album (with its original artwork) along with nine bonus tracks all of which have been previously unreleased.  Redemption’s Son 15^th Anniversary Edition will be available on 180-gram double LP, double CD, and digitally.  It will be the first time the album is available on vinyl ever.

 

The nine previously unreleased songs now form a “lost album” which Arthur has named Morning Star.

 

“We decided to turn these tracks into their own album called 'Morning Star' rather than a collection of this that and the other thing,” Arthur remarked.  “It's a great feeling when the past burps up a gift. Things forgotten and submerged by the vortex of time which reveals its illusions thru a process such as this. First listens of old things are a lot like taking the wrapping paper off a gift. That excited smile comes over you (hopefully) and it's kinda wonderful. But soon you get transported back to the time these things were new and then they become fresh elements to work with. No more a gift but a responsibility. Like if you got a dog for Christmas. What they say about a work of art being never finished but abandoned is accurate. And I learned here that you can essentially un-abandon them. We took these old things and we set out to make something current.”

 

KCSN in Los Angeles debuted another track from Monster Star this morning called "Forgive Your Heart."

Last week The Current (Minneapolis) debuted a track from 'Morning Star' called "Downtown."  Listen here: http://www.thecurrent.org/feature/2017/05/30/joseph-arthur-downtown

 

WXPN debuted "Pictures Of A Life" from the album as well:

Upon it’s original release in 2002, the album received rave reviews on both sides of the pond:

 

“Joseph Arthur's brilliant third album proves he was worth the wait
'Redemption's Son exhibits the sure sign of a classic album. The best songs are not nervously loaded at the front. Some of the real gems - the slow, creepy Permission, the unbearably beautiful Favorite Girl and the irresistibly poppy In The Night - emerge nearly an hour into the album.'- The Times (UK)

 

“...added intimacy without sacrificing dreamy magnetism... 
'2000's Come To Where I'm From was a near masterpiece. This time round, Grammy-bagging mixer Tchad Blake has replaced T-Bone Burnett as producer and brought added intimacy without sacrificing dreamy magnetism... Arthur's vocals [are] as much soothing balm as quiet venom. Blake's deft touch makes bedfellows of gentle acoustic guitar and gliding strings - I Would Rather Hide and Termite Song are stunning... If there's really a God, the Super Furries-goosing-up-Cockney Rebel wizardry of In The Night ought to be the FM smash of the summer.'”
Uncut (UK)

 

“In the current pop singer-songwriter renaissance, Arthur's art stands out as the most emotionally naked and musically ambitious.” - Entertainment Weekly (US)

Waxahatchee shares Out in the Storm’s brazen opener “Never Been Wrong”

Today, Waxahatchee premiered “Never Been Wrong,” the second single from Out in the Storm via Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show on Apple Music.

Katie Crutchfield’s fourth album as Waxahatchee and her second full-length with Merge,Out in the Storm will be released on July 14. The album tells the story of Crutchfield taking control of a volatile situation, embracing her flaws, and exploring a new sonic freedom. “A running theme on the album is accepting your own imperfections that you’ve been trying really hard to hide,” says Crutchfield.

Listen to & share Waxahatchee’s “Never Been Wrong” now

“Never Been Wrong” brazenly opens the album with fiery guitars and Crutchfield’s forthright lyrics: “You walk around like/ It’s your god-given right/ You love being right/ You’ve never been wrong.” This song serves as the foundation of the album by setting up the story with Crutchfield’s anger, sadness, and vulnerability all at once. “Being straightforward has always been more natural for me, and it was incredibly cathartic,” says Crutchfield. “It reminded me of being a teenager again, how I wrote songs then, and how huge that felt. It’s like that moment you walk away from a fight and you realize all of the things you should have said. This record is me saying all of that out loud alone as a personal practice. It’s sad and it's angry, and I think being both at the same time proved to be a powerful motivation for me.”

Joining Katie on her world tour this summer are Allison Crutchfield (guitar), Katherine Simonetti (bass), Ashley Arnwine (drums), and Ali Donohue (guitar).

Sacred Bones announces 7" from TROUBLE (as seen on Twin Peaks)

SACRED BONES ANNOUNCES TROUBLE - "SNAKE EYES" 7" AS SEEN PERFORMED ON TWIN PEAKS FEATURES ALEX ZHANG HUNGTAI, RILEY LYNCH, & DEAN HURLEY LISTEN TO "SNAKE EYES" HERE PRE-ORDER HERE, OUT JUNE 30

photo courtesy of Suzanne Tenner   As seen performing last night on Twin Peaks, the instrumental trio Trouble includes Twin Peaks creator David Lynch’s son Riley Lynch on guitar, Dean Hurley (longtime music supervisor for Lynch) on drums, and Alex Zhang Hungtai (Dirty Beaches, Last Lizard) on tenor saxophone. "Snake Eyes,' the track written and recorded for the highly anticipated return of Lynch's cult television classic effectively harkens a time when noir R&B was the de-facto soundtrack to hard liquor violence. Listen to it here. The B-side to the single consists of the bonus ‘Mother’s Gone;’ a menacing companion track additionally recorded during the band’s only Twin Peaks recording session. There may never be any more music from Trouble, but this 45 serves as physical evidence of the group’s continued existence in a parallel cinematic universe, grinding out late night Roadhouse gigs in the fictitious town of Twin Peaks, Washington.

The Brooklyn-based trio's music-replete with lo-fi guitar, abrasive vocals and lyrics full of awkward yet affecting metaphors alongside blunt emotional confessions..." - Alternative Press "Everyone's Else stands out, making the two year period wait worth every moment" 4/5 Boobs -BUST Magazine "Tender fingerpicking passages lurch into crashing speed-metal crescendos, loping country-western equestrian odes edge into menacing horror-movie pizzicato and back again." - Village Voice "...a rip-roaring quick hit that places Leah Wellbaum’s gravelly voice over some ferocious-sounding guitars." -Stereogum “Listen to songs by Slothrust, and you'll hear aggressive sounds that hearken back to early-'90s rock bands like Nirvana and Dinosaur Jr. Listen more closely, and you'll also hear elements of the blues that the band’s members learned when they met in their college's jazz program." - NPR MUSIC "Slothrust exemplify how colorful, fun and insightful rock music can be. The best kind of weird." - CLRVYNT Autostraddle has premiered the video for Slothrust's single "Pigpen", the final track off their 2016 album 'Everyone Else'. When talking about the video, lead singer Leah Wellbaum said, “We wanted to make a music video that stands on its own as a piece of art. Everyone who worked on this had an extreme focus on compelling, surreal imagery and concepts. Our intention was to make a type of music video that we haven’t made before, and don’t see very often.” Slothrust will tour North America this summer including a performance at Lollapalooza on 8/4. The band's most recent album 'Everyone Else' is out now on Dangerbird Records and the band has released a wealth of visual material to accompany it. Music videos for "Sleep Eater", "Horseshoe Crab", "Rotten Pumpkin" and "Like A Child Hiding Behind Your Tombstone", as well as live videos for "Rotten Pumpkin", "Horseshoe Crab", "Pigpen", and the Louis Armstrong classic "What a Wonderful World".
