A seminal figure in New York’s underground scene, Arthur Russell worked on some of disco’s most important tunes, including Loose Joint’s  ‘Is It All Over My Face’. Despite his range of solo work and collaborations, Russell only produced three full-length studio albums before his untimely death.

Iowa Dream is the result of a decade of archival work by Audika Records’ Steve Knutson and Russell’s partner Tom Lee. The nineteen track LP contains studio demos, unreleased recordings and lost songs.

While best known for his disco and avant-garde cello sounds, Iowa Dreams explores his eclectic range of work, and includes folk songs he wrote during a brief period in Northern California.

The new LP follows 2008’s Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell and the reissues of Instrumentals and Event Horizon.
