So Much Staying Alive and Lovelessness

Tim Kinsella (Cap'n Jazz, Owls, Friend/Enemy, Everyone) is in constant musical flux. This flux allows Kinsella to consistently produce even as he simultaneously juggles three active bands. The result? Kinsella has amassed a collection of songs culled from a variety of sources -- sketches begun on his computer, collaborations with kindred spirits from coast to coast, odds, sods, and half-fleshed creations – and given them life as the much-lauded Joan of Arc. Recorded and mixed by Graeme Gibson at Clava Studios and further gussied up with help from a plethora of fellow Chicago luminaries from Califone, Edith Frost, Isoptope 217, Ugly Cassanova, Boas, Owen, Pinebender, Rabbit Rabbit, Red Red Meat, Need New Body, and Chicago Underground Duo, this is a career culmination of JOAN OF ARC'S musical meanderings and genius in a concise, focused, and mature realization.
