Joan Of Arc Presents.... Don't Mind Control Joan Of Arc Presents.... Don't Mind Control
The album is collection of 18 songs authored and performed by a collective of 41+ musicians, and whilst the band don’t appear as Joan Of Arc on the album, all musicians on these recordings have been involved in an incarnation of Joan Of Arc at some point.

The album also seems to mark a turning point in Kinsella’s life, with his marriage and birth of his first child having a positive impact on both his lyrics and music. Take “Amnesia and Me” for example, an upbeat almost country-like ditty coupled with possibly the most uplifting lyrics he has written to date, highlighting the importance of the album’s title.

Not only is this one of the best new albums I’ve heard in a long time, it’s also one of the best releases by Polyvinyl since the days of Braid and Rainer Maria.
