Our Shadows Will Remain

7.8

“Life during wartime isn't just about the Mud Club and CBGB's or giving peace a chance, it's also about paranoia, disbelief, cynicism, grief, and optimism.”

Come to Where I'm From (Real World Gold)

pitchfork

7.4

“Joseph Arthur wants to be an enigma. I mean, really badly. He wants to be your unique, personal, do-it-yourself, enigmatic folk/pop singer/songwriter, and he'll do whatever it takes to get there. He'll cover his album art with weird, tribal drawings he made himself. He'll play more than just guitar if you want, sometimes even harmonica. He'll even experiment with different genres on a couple songs”

Nuclear Daydream

6.6

“Singer-songwriter and recent New Orleans resident follows his 9/11 album with a post-Katrina set of songs.”

Could We Survive

5.4

“These four EPs represent just a part of singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur's output this year-- he's also launched a regularly updated mp3 blog featuring new material and has a full-length on the way. The question, then, is whether he has enough ideas to sustain such a glut of material.”
