Joan of Arc mastermind Tim Kinsella has been one of the most
prodigious and quietly influential figures in
emo/indie/post-what-have-you for two decades, since his teen
years in the posthumously revered Cap’n Jazz. Since then, he’s
recorded more than a dozen records with Joan of Arc and other bands,
subtly shifting shapes but always retaining a singular and impressive
voice, his intricately winding lyrics every bit as distinctive as his
cracked yet tuneful howl. (Vera Project, Seattle Center,
