Joanna Gruesome Announce Peanut Butter LP, Share “Last Year”

Joanna Gruesome have announced their new album Peanut Butter, the follow-up to 2013′s Weird Sister. That’s the cover art above. It’ll be out June 2 in the U.S. via Slumberland and May 11 on Fortuna Pop! in the UK and Turnstile for the rest of the world. They’ve also shared “Last Year”, which you can listen to above. Update: The band also has a few shows coming up. Check them out below.

In a press release, guitarist/songwriter Owen Williams said:

We tried to make it shorter, more economical and attempted to pack as many hooks and screams in as quickly possible in order to avoid short changing the consumer or wasting her/his time. Lyrically it’s more obtuse and surreal but also attempts to mock trad masculine rock themes whenever things do get more lucid. But then sometimes musically we embrace them by doing stupid guitar solos. 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.
