Let's Just Be

Immediately following the conclusion of Joseph Arthur’s most recent tour, Arthur along with his new band - The Lonely Astronauts became entrenched in a Los Angeles based studio for three weeks after seven consecutive weeks of non-stop touring.

The new material came so fast and furious for the band (rumors are that over 80 songs were recorded during the sessions) that Arthur has decided to release two albums from these sessions. The first is - Let’s Just Be. “The idea for us was to record all of these new songs straight to tape using only 16 tracks with no reverb, sort of a back to basics like how the Stones or Neil Young used to record,” commented Arthur. “These albums are really a band effort, there was a lot of collaboration in the studio and quite a few songs on the album were co-writes.”
