Joan of Arc - A Window & A Mirror

Joan of Arc, the experimental rock band from Chicago, has been known for their avant-garde approach to music since the mid-90s. Their latest release, “A Window & A Mirror,” is a comprehensive box set that compiles their first five studio albums, showcasing their evolution in sound and songwriting. This release is unique as it includes not only the remastered albums but also an exclusive seven-inch from their early days as Red Blue Yellow, a 132-page hardbound book of Tim Kinsella’s notes, and access to over 100 alternate versions and unreleased tracks. The set comes in a custom-built wooden box with laser-etched artwork, all signed by Kinsella himself. But is it worth your time? Let’s dig into what the critics think.
