Over ten years ago, Audika Records began releasing the exceptionally varied, long sought-after music of Arthur Russell, and in the process has succeeded at helping the beloved, late artist find the broader audience he always believed he would reach. A new generation of listeners and critics has come to appreciate Russell as a visionary and an influence upon a broad range of today’s most compelling musical artists. On October 28, Audika will bring to light an as-yet-unavailable side of Russell’s body of work- the most rare and, at the same time, arguably the most accessible part- in Love Is Overtaking Me, which comprises 21 demos and home recordings of unreleased pop, folk and country songs from his vast catalog.While much critical and popular affection for Russell’s music has come about well after his untimely death from AIDS in 1992, many fellow artists believed in his genius and were drawn to collaborate with him during his lifetime. The legendary producer John Hammond (Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen) recorded Russell on several occasions; a number of these recordings will finally heard on Love Is Overtaking Me. So, too, will songs recorded with various incarnations of The Flying Hearts, a group formed by Russell and Brooks whose shifting lineup included, by turns, Jerry Harrison, Rhys Chatham, Jon Gibson, Peter Gordon and Peter Zummo as well as Larry Saltzman and David Van Tieghem. Several other Russell projects are represented on Love Is Overtaking Me, including The Sailboats, Turbo Sporty and Bright & Early.
Compiled from over eight hours of material, three years in the making, Love Is Overtaking Me reaches back further to Russell’s first compositions from the early `70s and spans forward to his very last recordings, made at home in 1991. Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear contributed mixing, restoration and editing to the album, whose tracks were selected by Audika’s Steve Knutson, Ernie Brooks and Russell’s companion, Tom Lee. A number of the songs feature prominently in Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell, Matt Wolf’s film, which had its world premiere this year at the Berlin International Film Festival and will be released theatrically and on DVD this fall by Plexifilm.
Love Is Overtaking Me is the fifth release of Russell’s material by Audika Records, whose work has proven that the music remains as contemporary today as when it was first recorded. The label launched with the disco/new wave collection Calling Out Of Context (2004) and continued with a reissue of the cello-and-voice masterpiece World Of Echo (2005); the instrumental compositions double-disc First Thought Best Thought (2006); and the hip-hop-inspired Springfield EP (2006), which includes a DFA remix of the title track.
Extensive Love Is Overtaking Me liner notes by Tom Lee provide an intimate perspective on Russell’s diverse catalog, which spanned an extraordinary diversity of styles and won the love of artistic communities that would seem utterly disparate, from Philip Glass, John Cage and Allen Ginsberg to rock bands like The Talking Heads and The Modern Lovers; the pre-Studio 54 disco-party scene of Nicky Siano’s Gallery and David Mancuso’s Loft; and DJ-producers like Francois Kevorkian and Larry Levan, among others.

Fellow Travellers brought me here.
I didn’t think the phone was going to ring.
@@kemspeaksI knew it will ring ❤
yeah, me too. Just finished the first episode and already wanted to cry
heard it from fellow travelers outro song
this song makes my heart ache
I wish he could see all the people still listening
What happened to him? Died so young
He was a gay man in New York in the 80s. Tragically like many others of that era he died very early of AIDS. It is a sad story, and he was still very much an underground artist who had not been fully recognized when he passed.
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around anymore
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around anymore
I needed a place, so I walked in the door
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around anymore
It's my world, it's my song
Didn't ask you to sing along
In my arms, you girl
You won't be here to say I'm wrong
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around anymore
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around anymore
I needed some space, so I walked out the door
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around anymore
I heard them say
Maybe, some day I'd have to pay
I don't say one word
To let you know I'm going away
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around anymore
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around anymore
I needed a place, so I walked in the door
I couldn't say it to your face, but I won't be around anymore
Here from Fellow Travellers 🥺
james taylor vibes
Very astute
brilliant and thoughtful and soooo filled with heart and truth and the Universal
i didn't watch the movie ( before you know it ) but my sister does,i pass her room while she was watching, then i heard this song, & i was like "uhh that a nice song", so here i am now, listening this song
Everyone's talking about fellow travelers but I'm here because of HBO's Looking. been rewatching it like 4 times already lol
Right?!! Heard it on fellow travelers and recognized it from HBO's Looking!
La primera cancion de arthur que te pasé Pablo
He sounds like the band on this track or cut
First time I heard this I thought this was Bobby Charles who was super simpatico with The Band. Give his 1970 self titled record a listen, very same vibes and well written songs with the fellas from Canada and a picker from Arkansas backing him up.
poor guy :(
yeah brother
beautiful
Before you know it, the movie, introduced me to this song. I love it. Sounds like an old song, love how it's not overly produced.
Genius!
This is a great tune
Fellow travelers :")
Perfect
The 2019 film Before You Know It brought me here.
Fellow Travelers
🖤
I like this song. He has a Jonathan Edwards vibe to me, at least in this song. I'll have to listen to more of his stuff.
Reminds of early 70s Fleetwood Mac a little bit. Great song.
Uhh, I have to say it to your image on tv, dude can't carry a tune
Many of my favorite singers can’t sing
Dude has been dead since the early 90s, so he's not going to hear you either way. Also, his voice had so much emotion in it. This song is breathtaking and haunting and many people love it. It doesn't matter if he "couldn't sing". Neither can Bob Dylan. You don't have to like it, everyone has different tastes, but his voice wasn't exactly nails on a chalkboard.
He was an accomplished cello player a producer and lyricist and I think he had an extraordinary voice. So you do better.
