It has been, what, about a month since Joan of Arc released something new? According to a clause in their contract, they must consistently keep releasing new music every 30 to 60 days, otherwise a kitten will die. Yes, really. In order to save the kittens, Joyful Noise Recordings will release Oh Brother, a limited-edition instrumental LP (and digital release) from the band, on February 8, 2011. Not only will the LP be hand-numbered and limited to 500 copies, but it also features collaborations with 14 different musicians, including Zach Hill of Hella, Rob Lowe of Lichens, and other members of Make Believe and Cap’n Jazz. Pre-order it here.
