PREMIERE: Joan Of Arc - Deep State
.jpg)
There are a lot of Kinsellas in Chicago, and in their wake have followed many bands. While it's tempting to pass off Joan Of Arc as the ashes of the retrospectively revered Cap'n Jazz (more so still considering guitarist Victor Villarreal has now boarded the ship), fifteen years of putting out records affords you your own place on the mantle. Purveyors of minimalist post rock, "Deep State" is as political as it sounds and all the more charming. I will happily accept Arc anchor Tim's agenda if it means the Kinsella-crafted soundscapes that we've come to expect, kicking in here right around the three-minute mark. Life Like is the group's upcoming LP on Polyvinyl, engineered by fellow industry vet Steve Albini and out in May.
