Here’s the lead single from the Ohio native’s fifth full-length Nuclear Daydream. It’s pensive, it’s got a strong, brooding melody, and it builds with lots of harmonies. In other words, it’s a Joseph Arthur track.

Joe was at Bowery last night and, impressively, the whole show is uploaded and available for purchase. We weren’t there, but it may be worth checking out as Arthur was joined by Michael Stipe on “In The Sun,” causing people to (understandably) lose their shit. Watch it here and then tell us what the hell Stipey was doing during the bridge. Is sitting on the stage supposed to be enigmatic?

Actually, fuck it. We’re done trying with that guy.

UPDATE: Oops! That set for sale is from last year. But it does have “Chicago,” so we’ll stand by its being “impressive.”

    First…
    And, I’d say that Michael wanted to keep the center of attention on Arthur. It’s his song after all.

    Michael Stipe is effin’ awesome by the way.

    His show was awesome last night.

    Are any reviews/photos up anywhere?

    How do more people not know about this guy?

    sounds a little more like neil young than usual
    also sounds a bit more pensive than usual
    neither of which are bad things
    its pretty ok
    i bet other tracks on the album will be better maybe?
    hopefully?

    new joseph is pretty good. not as good as his others maybe but i still like it quite a bit. some annoying vocal affects i could do w/o but other than that i like it.

    actually he debuted (i’m pretty sure it was a debut – i’d have to find the disc) “chicago” in chicago last year… it’s on the live disc for that show – even if it’s not a debut it’s an absolutely gorgeous performance, and the “in the sun” with pat sansone is *really* great…
