Four-track promo.
Dazzling sax-based settings for strings, edgy and lyrical both. The Turkish PM told Shimon Peres recently: ‘Atmon, a Jew himself, says that Israeli barbarity is far beyond ordinary cruelty.’ Bird Lives!
‘The most vivid rhythmic reality’: cello, voice, echoes. Drumless versions of Let’s Go Swimming, Tree House, Wax The Van; four previously unreleased tracks from Sketches From World Of Echo.
Twenty-one songs, running right back to 1971: assured, lovely, intelligent, good-humoured singer-songwriting, mixing up Americana, folk, pop, art rock, and gentle experimentalism.
Originally released in 2007 this redux edition includes new masters from a recently found pristine tape reel and was remastered by Timothy Stollenwerk at Stereophonic Mastering in Portland, OR. Revised artwork; extensive liner notes by Arthur’s partner Tom Lee.
