Real World

In its pursuit of unearthing previously unheard music from the planet's four corners, Real World has never ignored Western rock and pop. No-one's disqualified. And in Akron, Ohio, the label (or, rather Peter Gabriel himself) found Joseph Arthur, a singer-songwriter with high-proof creative juices oozing out of every pore.2000's 'Come To Where I'm From' was his second album for the label. Co-produced by the mighty T-Bone Burnett, it's a dense, attractively claustrophobic record, full of delightful contradictions: unnerving and reassuring, raw and yet meticulously compiled. 'I wanted to get the songs down in a way that was true to them and true to myself. I really wanted them to have humanity in them. I wanted an element of a gamble in it. I think too much music sounds too contained. I wanted it to sound like it could go out of control at any minute. I didn't want it produced to death.' Not content to limit himself to guitar, harmonica and sampling wizardry, Joseph is also a writer, sculptor and painter. His drawings and paintings feature in this album's artwork, which Joseph co-designed and art directed with Zachary Larner. 1999's 'Vacany' EP had gained Joseph and Zachary a Grammy nomination for the Best Recording Package.
