Wilde Calm Records is proud to present Some Say, a recently discovered song from the archive of Arthur Russell. The track was produced and mixed by Arthur in 1985 for a solo project of Steven Halls that was originally intended for release on Rough Trade Records. Legendary disco producer Bob Blank recorded and engineered the project at his Connecticut-based studio. Some Say features Arthurs classic cello basslines, cracking boom bap drums and Stevens floating vocals and synth pads. In true Arthur fashion, the song abrubtly stutters, slinks and lurches halfway through for Steven to complete his Buddhist pop mantra. The B-side features an extended rework of Some Say by Pocketknife using Arthurs BOSS Dr. Rhythm DR-55 drum machine.
