Done with the young and hungry rat-race of band-life, Joan of Arc now exists at the pace their real lives allow. By combining one week of studio time, a stack of songs and a sign-up sheet allowing participants to drop in whenever they could, each track on Boo Human is as wildly different and uniquely constructed as the groups who produced them. The combination of 14 musicians whose previous collaborations include Wilco, Iron & Wine, Bonnie Prince Billy, Beth Orton, and Prefuse 73 yields a truly diverse record that is as intense as it is intimate. Marked by intricate guitar melodies, non cognitive wailing and tense instrumentals, Boo Human is Joan of Arc's most accessible, cohesive album since 1997's How Memory Works. From the additively syncopated 'Laughter Reflected Back' to the unignorable, poetic '9/11 2,' Joan of Arc truly proves that doing it their way is the right way.
