Let's Just Be is the sixth studio album by Joseph Arthur and the first with his new band, The Lonely Astronauts. It is set to be released just seven months after his latest album, Nuclear Daydream, and is the first of two albums intended to be released in 2007. ^[1] "The idea for us was to record all of these new songs straight to tape using only 16 tracks with no reverb, sort of a back to basics like how the Stones or Neil Young used to record," commented Arthur. "These albums are really a band effort, there was a lot of collaboration in the studio and quite a few songs on the album were co-writes." [Taken from a promo press sheet from RED Distribution]. There will be a standard edition and a special edition of the album.

The Lonely Astronauts are:

• Joseph Arthur - vocals, guitar
• Kraig Jarret Johnson - guitar, keyboards
• Jennifer Turner - guitar
• Sibyl Buck - bass
• Greg Wieczorek - drums
