heart of the In The Sun Foundation, a project launched by Michael Stipe in
response to the hardship experienced by thousands of residents of the Gulf
Coast. Multiple versions of “In the Sun” are available as an EP
exclusively through iTunes with all proceeds to Mercy Corps, via the In
The Sun Foundation. The EP features renditions by Stipe, Chris
Martin and Joseph Arthur, along with remixes by Justin Timberlake

PRESS RELEASE
Joseph Arthur Takes Over 2008 With Five New Releases
Four EP Series Unfolds With ‘Could We Survive’
(March 18th / Lonely Astronaut) and
‘Crazy Rain’ (April 15th)
Additional EPs in June and July
Full-length ‘Temporary People’
To Be Released September 16th
“One of our most emotionally revealing and
talented singer-songwriters” – Vanity Fair
January 10, 2008 - This spring marks the return of maverick songsmith Joseph Arthur with the release of two EPs - the raw, atmospheric pop of ‘Could We Survive’ (March 18th / Lonely Astronaut), followed by the near-techno and wonderfully chaotic ‘Crazy Rain’ (April 15th). Arthur and his own label, Lonely Astronaut Records, will be releasing a series of four EPs this year, leading up to the full-length ‘Temporary People’ (September 16th). The final two will be available nationally June 10th and July 8th.
‘Could We Survive’ and ‘Crazy Rain' are the follow-ups to Joseph’s two critically acclaimed full-length albums, both released in 2006 - ‘Let’s Just Be’ (“it’s a ride and it’s a good one” – NY Times) and ‘Nuclear Daydream,’ hailed by Paste Magazine as “endlessly ponderable and disturbingly beautiful.”
An acclaimed painter and Grammy-nominated visual artist, Joseph often creates his artwork while taking breaks during writing and recording. He has written, performed and produced nearly all of the music on these five albums and recorded most of the material in his newly opened Brooklyn art gallery, the Museum of Modern Arthur.
Catch Joseph Arthur at SXSW and on tour throughout the spring and summer, and visit his ongoing exhibition at the Museum of Modern Arthur, like you should.
‘Could We Survive’ track listing: 1) “Rages of Babylon,” 2) “Morning Cup,” 3) “Shadows of Lies,” 4) “Could We Survive,” 5) ”Walk Away,” 6) “King of the Pavement”
