Between blog posts of his TMI -prose [www.stereogum.com], Joseph Arthur writes music. A lot of it, actually; he’s got two records out this year, the first of which (Let’s Just Be) dropped last month. Also during his poetic downtime, Joseph enjoys bumming Newports [www.stereogum.com], ascribing colors to magazines (e.g. Paste is beige [www.stereogum.com], and wearing oversized aviators, cool scarves, and “God Is Awesome” tees. This band rocks.
