From the ashes of the legendary Chicago emo band Cap'n Jazz came the Promise Rings boys and this highly experimental and very quirky pop-synth, whiny-soothing indie rock band Joan of Arc.

Eventually, All at Once was in part a spontaneous creation, even though the genesis for the songs began months earlier. A good analogy would be childbirth: a nine month gestation period followed by a few hours of labor, or in this case five days of recording in February 2006 by the collective known as Joan of Arc. The labor was documented by a portable 8-track tape machine at Donna Kinsellla's home in Buffalo Grove, IL, the childhood residence to both Tim and Mike Kinsella. In fact, Mike's former bed   [ read more ]

Despite being written over the course of a year in four different sessions with four different lineups, the songs on Flowers sound more cohesive than those on last year's Boo Human. This experience encapsulates the spirit of Joan Of Arc - a mentality that embraces contradictions and tears apart common musical structures, only to rebuild them without a blueprint. They continue to create an obscure combination of familiar, obvious ideas while sticking with the notion that 'if it feels good, do it.'

On their fourth album in as many years, Joan of Arc may have gone just a little too far. Tim Kinsella (apparently he added an "s" to his last name for this record) and company seem a bit short on ideas this time around. Actually, there are also the possible excuses that they had plenty of ideas, just not any surprisingly good ones, or that they are the purveyors of a complicated in-joke that no one else is privy to. Any way you look at it, The Gap is a difficult record to take. Among the sounds of    [ read more ]

While recording last year's 'The Gap,' Joan of Arc found themselves in excess of material. Rather than make 'The Gap' a double album, the band delayed completion of the remaining songs and opted to return to them at a later date. By early 2001, Joan of Arc had finished the songs, resulting in the compelling 'How Can Any Thing So Little Be Any More?.' 'How Can...' uses the same template as last year's 'The Gap,' but with a thoughtful distance that gives it a more direct impact and appeal than its predecessor   [ read more ]
