The Welsh noise-pop quintet Joanna Gruesome have announced details for their forthcoming Peanut Butter LP. The ten track offering is the follow up to 2013’s Weird Sister, and will be released in the US on June 2 through Slumberland, and on May 11 via Fortuna Pop! (UK) and Turnstile (everywhere else).
In a press release from the band, guitarist Owen Williams said of the new album, “We tried to make it shorter, more economical and attempted to pack as many hooks and screams in as quickly possible . . . Sometimes it’s narrative based but a fair amount of it is obtuse, word collage type stuff about radical politics, fancying people and peanut butter.”
Along with the album details, the band has shared the equal parts melodic and chaotic track “Last Year”. According to the band’s Soundcloud page the track is about experiencing tragedy and the occult in a water park. That’s… actually. Yeah. That sounds about right.
