Firecracker In A Box Of Mirrors

Description

The Chicago native, Tim Kinsella (Capn Jazz, Owls, Make Believe, and Joan of Arc), has cemented his place as one of the most groundbreaking, and unapologetically honest artists in modern music. Kinsella, known for his eccentric vocals, takes the listener on a gripping musical voyage while intricately weaving melodic hopefulness with lyrical heartbreak, and life experience. Firecracker in a Box of Mirrors is a plethora of emotions involved with the human experience, the heart, and the guitar. Conceived while Kinsella was on a solo tour opening up for Pinback, Firecracker is kind-of the inverse of Joan of Arcs Greatest Hits. While the latter reimagines classic JOA songs with full, robust instrumentation, Firecracker has stripped away all the dense layers of these songs leaving only a single guitar and voice. The basic, stripped-down instrumentation really allows these songs to shine in ways they never have.
