"If Radiohead grew up listening to funk instead of emo." "Word-painting mumble-bop." "Just as interesting as Jamie Lidell." "The harmonies are kablamkas." "My mom would like it..and so would my little cousins." "Deliciousness." "Why you so good? Dag." "Damn. can I put this on my ipod?"
My first album, a solo EP entitled If We Were, was released on September 30th through Rock Slinger Incorporated. You can get it on iTunes, or buy CD's from the rxlngr store. I'm working on the next one.
You can get Far Side of Town, the first song from the EP, for free from my website at http://arthurthefourth.com/far-side-of-town. It's got a Creative Commons by-nc license, so you can share it, remix it, sample it, or whatever else you want to do, as long it's noncommercial, and you credit me.
I promised long ago that when you released an album, I'd buy it. Well my friend, I picked up a copy of "If We Were" on Itunes yesterday and I must say the album is fantastic. I can tell you that it will be on my iPod as my "feel good" album permanently.
In this era of rapid change in the business models surrounding our music and it's increasing challenges , don't ever lose heart my friend. You are very talented and possess a beautifully distinct and unique sound. I look forward to following you throughout your career. Best Wishes, Cameron.
Thanks for the add! I found your music in a roundabout way--while watching youtube videos of In The Heights, I found videos of Shockwave, from which I found The (Valentine's) MIXTAPE, from which I found you singing La Da Da Dee. Long way of saying your music is beautiful and lovely on the ears. You've got a fan in Portland!
