Music: Punk/Metal Joan of Arc w/ Tirra Lirra

  • 437827666_l_large

Tim Kinsella has always been a slippery one to pin down. He helped define the templates for emo and post-rock with Joan of Arc, but nowadays those labels are too loaded to be useful. Plus, the man is a dedicated contrarian — sift through his whole catalog and you have to wrap your brain around both spoken-word diversions and The Gap's passive-aggressive incoherence. So the most surprising thing about this year's Boo! Human is how accessible it is. Emo bands typically don't age gracefully, but this is the most relaxed and assured that Joan of Arc have sounded in years.
