Joan of Arse - Distant Hearts, A Little Closer
slab four . Sept 17th 2001 . cd . sold out

Recorded in April 2001 by Steve Albini in Electrical Audio studios, Chicago. This record marked something of a departure for the Arse. Quite aside from the step up production-wise, these 7 songs showcased the increasing breadth of the expanded 4-piece - from rock anthems to porchlight soliloquies. Jason Molina from Songs:Ohia and Nad Navillus added their touches to the recordings, artwork by Zak Sally, formerly of Low, now head honcho of Lamano21.

Distant Hearts is presented as the absolute artefact - 5/5 - Leagues O'Toole, Irish Times

7 songs long, but each one could hold an album together on it's own. - Rory O'Keeffe, The Dubliner

This year has seen quite a lot of good records to come out of Dublin, but this release from Joan Of Arse has put them all in the shade. Crafted with care, it will make you both shout and cry. - John Dee, Wow.ie
