'Last Year' is the taster track from Joanna Gruesome's forthcoming new album 'Peanut Butter', out 11 May via Fortuna POP! (UK), Slumberland (US) and Turnstile (ROW).

Rival groups will be disappointed to learn that the record is a further experiment in combining hyper melodic pop music with sonic violence. Officials have confirmed that the album contains a record number of hooks, traces of nut and elements of jangle pop, British hardcore punk, atonal music, screaming and drone organs. Yet they have issued warnings of "a marriage of radical politics with peanut butter spread". "Last Year" is a song about experiencing tragedy and the occult in a water park.

Like their debut, the new album was recorded by MJ from Hookworms, with the aim of heightening the group's "pop" and "aggressive" elements to excessive and hitherto unrecorded levels. As songwriter Owen Williams explains: “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/their time. Lyrically it’s more obtuse and surreal but also attempts to mock trad masculine rock themes whenever things do get more lucid. But sometimes musically we embrace them by doing embarrassing guitar solos. I'm not sure how much else I'm at liberty to say but one thing I will disclose is that the record is a response to threats posed by rival groups."

Building up to the album's release, Joanna Gruesome will play the following UK gigs.

My Jam feat. Zendaya & Jeremih [Prod. By Dem Jointz]

Artist: Paul de Jong
Title: Auction Block
Album: IF
Release Date: April 28, 2015

Paul de Jong is best known as the cofounder, cellist and resident found sound savant of the beloved, defunct collage-pop duo, the Books. Five years after that band delivered their final album, The Way Out, to much acclaim, de Jong delivers his first solo album, IF.

IF sets the Books' early albums (particularly The Lemon of Pink) as a starting point, and elevates that beguiling sense of wonder and amazement to genuinely transcendent new heights. De Jong's ability to find the musical in the mundane has always been uncanny — it is part of what made the Books so magical – and that gift is what makes IF such a marvelous curiosity, and such a true pleasure to hear. In de Jong’s world, everything around him is a potential instrument: his mind-bogglingly vast collection of forgotten private press regional folk records, spoken-word oddities of indeterminate origin unearthed in discarded thrift store piles, and various everyday household utensils that we tend to take for granted. One man’s trash is de Jong’s tool to craft yet another treasure.

Featuring a handful of friends and family as musical guests, IF steers a course from joyously eccentric folk-pop to humorously inside-out jazz, resulting in a refreshing piece of outsider art with a replay value that's off the charts.

lyrics:

You could be my woman
And I’ll be your man
Just a little bit longer
‘Til the feeling ends
If something else is happening
And you need to go
You could run around this whole place
And you’d never know

Oh my can’t you let it be
Running round again
Round and round again
No I got somewhere to be
Running round again
Round and round again

Something better might be coming
Just a little more cuz it never gets old
Something that you thought was over
Just a little more cuz it never gets old

You could tell me something
You don’t need to shout
But I don’t need to know that
Don’t freak me out
Everything is ok
Everything is fine
For just a little bit longer
‘Til you’re out of time
