On today's episode I talk to musician Tim Kinsella. Originally from
Chicago, Tim has been part of some of the best indie rock bands of
the last quarter-century. In 1989, he formed Cap'n Jazz along with
his brother Mike, who would go on to become a frequent collaborator
with Tim and a well-know artist in his own right in bands like
American Football and Owen. Even though Cap'n Jazz only put out one
album - and later an anthology on Jade Tree Records - they became a
cult band and helped define a kind of post-hardcore art-rock. After
Cap'n Jazz broke up, Tim formed the even-more-experimental band
Joan of Arc, which has been his main project since 1995. Since
their first album A Portable Model of..., they've put out
over 30 albums and 7"es. Tim's also played in many other memorable
bands including Owls, Friend/Enemy and Make Believe, and that's
just naming a few. Joan of Arc's latest He’s Got The Whole This
Land Is Your Land In His Hands was just released by Joyful
Noise.
