Review: Make Believe – Going To The Bone Church

How do you feel about Tim Kinsella and his body of work with the likes of Cap n’ Jazz, Joan Of Arc, Owls, and Make Believe? Love/Like/Indifference/Hate? That’s probably how you are going to feel about Make Believe’s latest album Going To The Bone Church. You’ll either think it is a barrage of pretentious noise, pure genius, or maybe both. It is the sort of skronky, dissonant, and disjointed anti rock that we’ve all come to expect from Kinsella, guitarist Sam Zurick, and company.

To me, Going To The Bone Church sounds like a Western record. It is the kind of music I might imagine hearing as the soundtrack to a dusty old saloon gunfight. It neither swings nor grooves and is impossibly un-catchy, but for a record that is as challenging and difficult as this one, it is surprisingly infectious. Give …Bone Church a try and pick this one up via vinyl or MP3 download only from the wonderful folks over at Flameshovel.

    If there was ever a voice / musician I could never get into in the CHI scene, it’s T.Kinsella’s.
