dbpprop:abstract
  • Temporary People is the seventh full-length studio album from singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Joseph Arthur, and the second with his band The Lonely Astronauts. The album was released on September 30, 2008 on CD in the US via Joseph's own Lonely Astronaut Records, and made available on 12" vinyl in the US through the Lonely Astronauts website in early January 2009. The album was released in Europe, also on both CD and 12" vinyl, via Fargo Records on October 27, 2008 (CD) and February 2, 2009 (LP). The album is co-produced with Kenny Siegal, who previously worked with Joseph on his 2006 album Nuclear Daydream, and also features guest musician Garth Hudson of The Band on organ and piano. In a November 2008 interview with Joseph on NPR radio, Joseph described the album as being "about a journey, reaching toward the light through your spirit, trying to overcome your demons through your spirit. " He said his new listeners should start with Temporary People, adding, "It's a true record, in that it works as a record, it works as a body of work [and] it tells a story: reaching into your soul to overcome your weaknesses and survive with hope... with a rock 'n' roll soundtrack. " Stereogum. com premiered the music video for the album's title track on August 26, 2008. The video, directed by Cerise Leang, features Joseph and the band partying at his Museum of Modern Arthur art gallery in Brooklyn's DUMBO district. The website also posted a free MP3 download of the track as well. Shortly thereafter, a music video was produced for second single "Faith," directed by Stephen Shellenberger, and shot on a trailer park in Ipperwash, Canada. "Faith" was released in the UK as a double A-side promo single, with "Look Into the Sky," on December 15, 2008. Originally, as posted on Arthur's website in January 2008, his next studio album was to be a solo album titled All You Need Is Nothing with a release date of August 5. An early, unfinalized version of Temporary People leaked onto P2P file-sharing websites in July 2008.
