Arthur Russell

Assembled from sketches and unreleased tracks after Arthur Russell's death in 1992, Another Thought captures the avant-disco pioneer at his wispy best. Nothing resembles the emphatic "Let's Go Swimming" or "Is It All Over My Face." Instead, these intimate songs find Russell singing through an ocean of echo, inventing new worlds with every stroke of his cello. With alternate versions of songs like "Lucky Cloud," and exclusives like the heartbreaking "This Is How We Walk on the Moon," this is essential Arthuriana, a cohesive mood piece despite its cobbled origins.
