It's been hard to resist the 'album premiere' on MySpaz and what I've heard on there sounds really good. After 'Let's Just Be', the first release by The Lonely Astronauts I was worried how the new album would sound as I really couldn't get into that release. It lacked the magic from the Joseph Arthur solo releases that I've been listening to for so long. Thankfully the new record doesn't seem to. There have been two music video's made for the album so far:
The first being for the title track, 'Temporary People':
The second track from the album to have a video made is 'Faith':
'You Are Free', a documentary film by Bryan Johnson will be premiered at the at Pop Montreal on October 2nd. The film documents Joseph Arthur's first show of the 2005 tour at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, "the film is an unforgettable blend of music, art, and drama. "You Are Free" goes beyond merely documenting the performance, it allows the viewer to truly get to know this unique artist. Performances are inter-cut with scenes of Arthur speaking with moving sincerity about his career, his life, and his spiritual journey as a person and a musician. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur demonstrates why he is 'one of the last true artists left in the world' in this immediate and unflinching documentary that blends music, art and drama into an unforgettable movie experience."
You can view the trailer here. I'm really hoping that this will get a DVD release soon.
You can also download the title track from the new album via Stereogum.
