Free Music Review: Joseph gives me a "smile that explodes"
Hit: 5 Stars
Joseph Arthur's music slowly grows on you over time...permeating its way into your heart till you really start feeling what he feels in the songs he sings. He has this rare, expressive vocal quality that I find easy to relate to and fall in love with. My love affair with Joseph Arthur is simply with his music. There's no lust thing going on like my feelings for other certain rockstars. He uses acoustic guitars, electric acoustics, electric guitars, and sometimes even loops electronic samples and it all works so beautifully.
Our Shadows Will Remain is the only album I own of his thus far, but it will definatly will not be my last. The album kicks off with his gorgeous acapella number entitled "Ohio." It is only 43 seconds long, but in those 43 seconds you understand the underlying feeling that resonates throughout this album in the words "In Ohio, you were born...You will die alone." This album is all about confusion and loneliness....not being able to fully cope with this world's complexities and pitfalls but trying anyway through song to get some kind of grasp on life.
But don't get the idea that is album is all depressing ballads, like most of Elliott Smith's work. Hell, in the song "Stumble and Pain" you could swear that you were hearing a Nine Inch Nails side project! "Echo Park" beautifully uses strings and has a very uplifting, almost gospel chorus of the word "Freedom." The song that really gets me though is "A Smile that Explodes." Its a beautiful duet with the singer Julia Darling that really touches me with its beautiful music arrangement and lyrics such as:
"My room too small/To get by without the help out alcohol/Pin my arm to the wall/Now I'm too gone to fight Not afraid to fall/Cuz it ain't easier Waking up at dawn To find I lost my crown/If I found you there With flowers in your hair"
This man is a truly phenomenal musician and I really hope that guys will think about finding out more about Joseph's music. Sincerely.
Recommended Listens: Devils Broom, Echo Park, Can't Exist, Stumble and Pain, and A Smile That Explodes
Our Shadows Will Remain Poster
With Our Shadows Will Remain, Arthur has delivered the album that will connect with the masses. It is at once his most intricate and focused work to date, featuring the mesmerizing rock tracks "Can't Exist" and "Even Tho". With other songs ranging from beautiful acoustic melodies (Echo Park) to harder-edged, expansive driving rock (Devil's Broom), to deep and gritty programmed beats (I Am, Wasted), this album is a real, vital diary of the landscape of urban life and the album that most clearly reveals the breadth of Arthur's incredible talents. Our Shadows Will Remain is an instant classic, destined to make Joseph Arthur a household name.Alternative Rock Music CDs
