Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain... CD/LP

Polyvinyl Records August 10, 2004

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. Mixed by John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, Smog, Stereolab, U.S. Maple). Includes members of Town and Country, Love of Everything, Make Believe, Pit Er Pat, Aloha, and Owen. 2xLP version limited colored vinyl: 1 red LP, 1 white LP.
