The Creation of this album was a very tedious process that was long in the making. Joseph Arthur had the name 'Redemption City' in mind for many years but never had a chance to use it, he had to wait for the right moment. Once he saw his chance he started to write and once finish he jumped right back into the studio to record this double feature. For the first time ever he decided that he was going to do everything on the album, so with the help of a friend Matt becker and a little bit of hard work he built his own studio in Brooklyn and decided to record the whole album by himself. Joseph played all the instruments (drums,bass, guitar,synth and whatever else he could come up with) and mixed it himself with a few final touches by Merrit Jacob. After all the final touches were made joseph decided to get it mastered by the great Fred Kevorkian to give it the sound that he wanted. After all this hard work and countless hours in studio this album proves that this long journey was definitely worth taking.
