Arthur Russell appeared on two albums as a member of the new wave quartet the Necessaries. Russell played keys in the band, which was fronted by Ed Tomney and featured the Modern Lovers’ Ernie Brooks and Jesse Chamberlain (formerly of the Red Crayola). The band’s last LP, 1982’s Event Horizon, is now getting a new reissue. Due September 15 via Be With, the 12-track project was produced by Bob Blank. The 180-gram vinyl reissue comes with restored album artwork by Simon Francis and extensive liner notes by Mikey IQ Jones. Below, listen to Event Horizon’s “Driving and Talking at the Same Time” and check out the album artwork.

Recently, Russell’s archives—notes, scores, show fliers, photos, and never-before-heard recordings from his personal working tapes—were displayed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for an exhibition called Do What I Want: The Experimental World of Arthur Russell. He recorded under various projects, including Dinosaur L, Indian Ocean, and Loose Joints, before releasing his final (and only) full-length solo project recorded during his lifetime, World of Echo.
