Temporary People is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur, released on September 30, 2008, on Lonely Astronaut Records.

The album was preceded by the release of four solo EPs – Could We Survive, Crazy Rain, Vagabond Skies and Foreign Girls – with Arthur later stating that Temporary People's overall impact and reception was affected by this: "When I put out Temporary People I had just put out four EPs, so it was kind of hard to get anybody pay attention to it.

The video, directed by Cerise Leang, features Joseph and the band partying at his Museum of Modern Arthur art gallery in Brooklyn's DUMBO district.

Shortly thereafter, a music video was produced for second single "Faith," directed by Stephen Shellenberger, and shot on a trailer park in Ipperwash, Canada.

[3] "Faith" was released in the UK as a double A-side promo single, with "Look Into the Sky," on December 15, 2008.
