Calling out of Context
Artist: Arthur Russell
Love A.R., obsessed w the jangly hollowness of this album. Vaguely chamber, bouncy, sweet, and resonant--but like in an empty cave. Highly recommend. Also, Im fascinated by his life and his friendship with Allen Ginsberg-- he sadly passed away from aids-related complications, and it sucks that he didnt get the recognition he deserved for his work while he was alive (this album, and many others, were released posthumously). I really hope he wasnt a pedophile.
