Editor's review
It makes sense that one of the bands who wrote the post-rock rulebook would go back and reinvent the genre. Joan of Arc takes huge stylistic leaps from folk to indie pop to post rock and back again, even adding an emo-esque bit of vocal wailing to the constantly shifting sonic backdrop. Martyrdom never sounded so good.
Biography
Formed in 1996, Joan of Arc has long been a part of the Chicago underground. Band members have played in a host of other projects and collaborators on Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain... include members of Town and Country, Love of Everything, Make Believe, Pet er Pat, Aloha, and Owen.
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 their August 2004 release Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain.... 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. It's eccentric yet accessible. Add the mixing talents of John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, Smog, Stereolab, U.S. Maple) and you know you're going to be in for a sonic treat.
