JOSEPH ARTHUR REVEALS REVOLUTIONARY NEW ALBUM 'BAG IS HOT,' A FREE, ONGOING, LIVING RECORD THAT WILL LAST FOREVER
‘Bag Is Hot’ is a new creation by songwriter and visual artist, Joseph Arthur. A new way of releasing music, ‘Bag Is Hot’ is liquid an ongoing – a form onto itself. Brand new music is composed and recorded strictly for this album – really beautiful, unearthly, fully realized music – that interacts with images and artwork to form a living, breathing record. ‘Bag is Hot’ is free, open-ended, has no rules and is being modernized by Joseph at a rapid pace.

“’Bag Is Hot’…like fresh popcorn for all the kids to grab,” says Joseph. “Digital hands eating the digital popcorn. This project is fun and doesn’t have to be precious, but it’s hard not to take it seriously and really work on it. It’s not, ‘Bag is getting a little lukewarm - Bag is hot! It’s gonna be like slang soon!”

Lonely Astronaut Records could be releasing the first installment of ‘Bag Is Hot’ sometime before 2009.
