Half rocker and half singer-songwriter, Arthur is one of the few artists in his milieu that can follow through on his prolific and restless inspirations.
The Brooklyn based singer-songwriter-painter recorded « Temporary people » with The Lonely Astronauts, his NYC collaborative gang, including Kraig Jarret Johnson (Golden Smog, The Jayhawks…), Jennifer "Jen" Turner (Natalie Merchant…), Sybil Buck , Greg "G. Wiz" Wieczorek (The Gutter Twins, Twilight Singers…).
Singer/songwriter Joseph Arthur was discovered by Peter Gabriel in the mid-'90s and soon signed to the artist's Real World label. In 2006, Joseph and longtime professional partner Lauren Pattenaude started his own record label , Lonely Astronaut Records. He recorded and released his fifth official studio album Nuclear Daydream--the first release on his label--in September 2006
His song "In the Sun" was covered by longtime aficionado Michael Stipe (R.E.M) and Coldplay singer Chris Martin in 2006 for a Hurricane Katrina Relief program.The EP includes 6 versions of the cover, one of which has Arthur himself singing with Stipe, and another remixed by Justin Timberlake.
April 17, 2007 saw the US release of his sixth studio album, Let‘s Just Be, the first album recorded with his band The Lonely Astronauts.
Temporary People, his seventh studio album (and second with The Lonely Astronauts), is set for release on September 30, 2008.
Temporary People finds The Astronauts steeped in rattling anthems (« Faith« ,« Temporary people«), unearthy rock revival (« Dead Savior« , « Look into the sky« ) and classic country inspired hymns ( « Say Goodbye« , « Turn you on«).
