Polyvinyl Record Co.

Description

With a new label, a new direction, and a new set of songs, Chicago's Joan of Arc added another chapter to its mythos with 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 band's 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.

The now out-of-print 2xLP version was released on limited edition colored vinyl (1 red LP, 1 white LP).

"Joan of Arc faces this newer world with smarts, vulnerability and an admirable hard-headedness." Magnet
