Joan of Arc

Live in Muenster, 2003 CD

Record Label 2004

Recorded and mixed by Holger Behr at Gleis 22, Meunster Germany May 17, 2003
Mastered by Manfred Schultz

Only 1000 copies made! Recorded live in Muenster, Germany, the experimental Chicago rock band creates nice workouts of studio cuts from past albums. As always, Mr. Kinsella pushes to outdo himself, try new sounds, and always be one step ahead of the indie rock scene. "Like their fellow Chicago bands they've been compared to -- Tortoise, Gastr Del Sol -- Joan of Arc turn song structure on its head: An acoustic, folk guitar twists on a jazz rhythm, while an ethereal keyboard wash lingers eerily in the background or a piano pumps out of control...Singer Tim Kinsella consistently dares to reach for notes that would make an American Idol judge blanch." --Rolling Stone
