Picture of Bunny Rabbit
“Recorded at the same time as 1986’s masterpiece World of Echo, this posthumous collection offers an essential glimpse into Arthur Russell’s haunted, luminous sound.”
Iowa Dream
“The latest posthumous album from the groundbreaking artist feels like one of his truest, 19 “demos” that reveal his elegant songwriting, his disregard for genre, and his boundless mind.”
World of Echo
“Russell's most personal and radical statement consists simply of his folksy tenor, cello, and scant electronic microtones-- all lathered with echo, distortion, and reverb.”
Corn
“Corn is the latest in a long series of archival reissues of difficult-to-classify songwriter Arthur Russell. These tracks, recorded in 1982 and 1983, mostly find him in electro-pop mode, but the set has range and finds him touching on a number of styles.”
Love Is Overtaking Me
“Love Is Overtaking Me, a compilation of more as-yet-unavailable Arthur Russell material-- most of which was born from a more traditional singer/songwriter structure than the avant-garde cello compositions and kinetic, jazz-influenced disco for which he has also come to be known-- continues the late composer and producer's winning streak.”
Springfield
“Another collection of the late composer, singer, and disco producer's work, this one features a newly commissioned DFA remix.”
