Joan of Arc - "Destiny Revision"

Joan of Arc have been an indie rock staple for twenty five years now. Throughout that twenty five year history, Tim Kinsella has been the only permanent member of the group. The band is set to release their final album in December, and "Destiny Revision" is the first single from that final album. It's a quiet, lovely song that feels deeply intimate. It's the kind of song that lulls you into almost a trance, and then gently pulls you out with the occasional burst of quiet noise, including what may be a guitar solo towards the end. 

Tim Kinsella says of the song: “‘Destiny Revision’ was a personal song when it was written a couple years ago, about winging it when your life fails to play out as you'd imaginedUnfortunately that simple sentiment now has a much more expansive and darker resonance as all of us in America face a fascist administration using the pandemic as an opportunity to consolidate power, and we all struggle to imagine our futures.” 

You can watch the video for "Destiny Revision" below. Joan of Arc's final album, Tim Melina Theo Bobby, will be out December 4 on Joyful Noise Recordings. You can pre-order a copy here. For more on Joan of Arc, check out their website.
