2004, Polyvinyl
With a new label, a new direction, and a new set of songs, Chicago's Joan of Arc add another chapter to their eight-year mythos with Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain.... Simply put, it's their best album yet. Recorded during a stint between two national tours in their hometown of Chicago, Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain... expands upon the usual tradition of experimentation and gadgetry with the inclusion of an overall sense of cohesiveness and underlying melody. Add the mixing talents of John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, Smog, Stereolab, U.S. Maple), and you know you're going to be in for a sonic treat. Includes members of Town and Country, Love of Everything, Make Believe, Pit er Pat, Aloha, and Owen.
