The debut full-length offering from this Chicago band comprised of former members of Joan of Arc, Owls, Ghosts & Vodka, etc.). An emotional and energetic mix of unorthodox guitar riffs, fierce drumming, skronking and squelching Wurlitzer organ, and Tim Kinsella's pointedly spit vocals. In 2003, members of Joan of Arc toured as a four-piece for several months, then returned to Chicago and decided to form Make Believe. This is their debut, recorded by Steve Albini.

When dealing with a harsh inevitability, you'll do pretty much anything to avoid thinking about it. Most importantly, in the face of that adversity, you keep busy and do what comes naturally. This is precisely what Nate Kinsella and the rest of Make Believe did when he got word that he'd be spending two months in a county jail in Oklahoma. The end result of their self-enforced distraction is Of Course, an album created and recorded entirely in under a month. Typically obsessive perfectionists, this r   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Make Believe return with a record that is as musical as it is raw, and as dense as it is simple. The Chicago-based band delivers a delicious slice of their bizarre and truly one-of-a-kind world hot on the heels of 2006's Of Course. Front man Tim Kinsella, drummer/keyboardist/ cousin Nate Kinsella, gu-ita-ru Sam Zurick and bass-dude Bobby Burg assembled all their best chops and settled into Electrical Audio Studio with Greg Norman (Pelican, Magnolia Electric Company, Neurosis) for the se   [ read more ]

Make Believe is the 2003 touring version of Joan of Arc. After three months of touring solidified their playing, they returned home and decided to write new songs together. They wanted it to be something different than Joan of Arc -- a true collaboration that reflected a different approach to songwriting, something with a more aggressive approach. It had to speak for itself and shake whatever connotations the band name Joan of Arc had acquired. And they've managed to do just that. The EP begins its reign of   [ read more ]
