about

From the forthcoming LP "Imperfectionists" - Recorded by Jalipaz Nelson of Audioconfusion in Mesa, AZ.

lyrics

The dialogue is stilted
My motivation isn’t clear
The setting keeps shifting
And the director ain’t even here

The tone is unfocused
Continuity obviously slipped
I don’t grasp my character
And nobody’s seen the script

And characters they drop in
And characters they drop back out
And characters they drop in
And characters they drop back out

I’m only in this movie
For my eventual death scene
I’m only in this movie
For my eventual death scene

The projectors might be broken
The footage hasn’t moved on in years
And the extras from the prologue
Have moved on to better careers

The critical reaction
Isn’t signaling a hit
The silence from the producers
Means the sequel ain’t been greenlit

And characters they drop in
And characters they drop back out
And characters they drop in
And characters they drop back out

I’m only in this movie
For my eventual death scene
I’m only in this movie
For my eventual death scene

And characters they drop in
And characters they drop back out
And characters they drop in
And characters they drop

Oh my God! Oh my God!

I’m only in this movie
For my eventual death scene
I’m only in this movie
For my eventual death scene

about

Joan of Arkansas Phoenix, Arizona

Five piece sludge pop band from Phoenix, Arizona formed through Tinder and Craigslist. Joan of Arkansas is weird, loud, distorted, and lyrically driven. Bright pop dual vocals peeking through distorted sludgy guitar and bass, then topped off with manic drumming. Is it pop? Is it punk? Is it noise? That's for you to decide! ... more
