Discovered by Peter Gabriel no less - Brooklyn-by way
of Ohio-native native Joseph Arthur's brooding, pensive style is kind of Cohen
and Waits meets Beck with beats. The tunes are generally slow to mid-tempo,
built from simple chord progressions and driven by a powerful, versatile voice
that blends bits of Jagger, Dylan, Bowie, and Stipe. His lyrics tend to be
blunt vignettes about the struggles of love and faith.
For every song Arthur has released in a critically
acclaimed, Grammy-nominated career that has spanned nine full-length albums and
11 EPs, he's probably kept three others in the vault for safekeeping. It was
amid this abundance of riches that he began molding his latest acclaimed collection
of music under a single narrative thread: The Ballad of Boogie Christ,
described by Arthur as "a fictionalized character loosely based on my own
journey."
