Junkyard Hearts I

Joseph Arthur

Five tracks of rain-soaked indie folk. Hypnotic loops and watery reverb create a dense, intimate atmosphere of urban solitude and maritime longing.

May 2002 · Real World Records

A heavy, beautiful fog of isolation that feels both lonely and deeply comforting.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the vocal layers on The Coldest Sea accumulate like a rising tide until the track feels submerged.
The transition into the repetitive, mantra-like plea of Take Me Back Home that feels like a physical pulling sensation.
The fragile, close-mic intimacy of the opening lines in Hold On Dear where you can hear the singer's breath.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
