A musical polymath like no other, Arthur Russell is well regarded for effortlessly jumping between avant‑garde compositions, and with Love Is Overtaking Me, we're treated to the most tender corner of his catalogue; a wide‑ranging collection of folk, pop and country songs recorded between 1973 and 1991. This newly remastered edition draws from recently uncovered tape sources, restored with care by Timothy Stollenwerk and drawn from hours of archival work. Originally assembled by Audika Records, the compilation traces Russell’s songwriting across numerous projects and collaborations, now re-presented for fresh ears thanks to Rough Trade. - Flying Out

Love Is Overtaking Me, originally released in 2008 comprises 21 demos and home recordings of unreleased pop, folk and country songs from Arthur’s vast catalogue. 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 can be heard on Love Is Overtaking Me. Alongside songs recorded with various incarnations of The Flying Hearts, a group formed by Russell with Ernie Brooks whose shifting line up 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.

Originally released in 2007 the redux edition includes new masters from a recently found pristine tape reel and was remastered by Timothy Stollenwerk at Stereophonic Mastering in Portland, OR. Revised artwork by Molly Smith comes with extensive liner notes from Arthur’s partner Tom Lee.
