April 17th, Joseph Arthur will release his new album, ‘Let’s Just Be‘. This will bes Joseph’s 6th full length and the second for his own label (the first being last years ‘Nuclear Daydream‘), Lonely Astronaut. In addition to ‘Let’s Just Be‘, he is also set to release another album later this year as well!

The first single off ‘Let’s Just Be‘ comes in the form of ‘Diamond Ring‘. A sweet little rocker which has definite hints of influence from the Stones, the Faces, and maybe even some Bowie at times. It’s a slight bit of a departure for him, but I think it works really well. I’m sure it will sound even better live with his full band, The Lonely Astronauts.

You can pre-order ‘Let’s Just Be‘ on www.JosephArthur.com. They is also a special edition for sale, which will only be available on his site and at his shows. As an extra bonus, it features Joseph’s great original artwork as well.

I reviewed Joseph’s Fine Line show last fall, and it ended up being one of my favorite shows of the year, and I’m guessing his upcoming show on April 27th at the great Varsity Theatre will be awesome as well. No word just yet if it’s going to be the same backing band as last fall, which featured hometown boy Kraig Jarret Johnson on guitar & backing vocals.
