Holy fucking hell this is incredible. It's a such a unique and interesting sound
Like this really soft, vulnerable vocal over that spasming cello and intermittent electronic is just so fucking entrancing.
Feels like music from another world, like it's dreamier than dream pop.

sounds like my reaction when i first heard Arthur. he really is wonderful. now listen to Another Thought, Calling Out of Context, and a bunch of moody alt-dance music

Does he hold up over time?
>>64358624
absolutely. i love all his albums even more now than I did when I first heard them. Arthur's life story might make you appreciate them more too
>>64358624
if anything he sounds better over time to me
>>64358454
pretty much my reaction when i found him too
cant even remember how i found him
maybe reading beyond the dream syndicate by b joseph . . ..
He's OK.
Comfy.
But his music is boring as fuck.
All you kids like about him is the reverb and murmuring, be honest.
His stuff on the Corn compilation is better.

Anon, I think even you need to understand that this is all about texture.

>this is all about texture.
Is this supposed to make you look better?
>>64360076
The texture of the music is extremely interesting. It doesn't sound like anything else.
I mean He'll make this amazing melody and then throw it away, break it, eveolve it. It's constantly changing, he's melting tones, making short vignettes.
I mean, fuck, if you think this is boring, I have no idea what you think is interesting.

Not even small posts about little known artists are safe from their wrath.
