Description

For 25 years, Jade Tree amassed one of the most essential discographies in punk/emo/indie music, releasing seminal albums from Cap’n Jazz, The Promise Ring, Pedro the Lion, Lifetime, Jets to Brazil, Joan of Arc and many more influential bands.

The first of several high-flying conceptual works to come from the Joan of Arc compound is an eminently eclectic affair – organic and electronic, ironic and earnest, familiar, yet wholly irregular. It’s a balance that allows this Chicago-based group to walk on the fringe without being swallowed by it. You’ll feasibly end up scratching your head as much as you wind up nodding it, but if you didn’t, you’d probably be missing the point.

Reissue on 180 gr vinyl. US import.
