JJ's Album Club

After months of trying to tempt Jimi away from writing a book, being a Masterchef judge and a dad we are back and more professional than ever. Reviewing some of April's more interesting album releases from big hitters - The Strokes to new comers Hollow Ship. Listen in as we give our considered opinions, daft gut feelings and silly segways.  Trigger warning this episode contains an awful Liam Gallagher impression.

This time Joey and Jimi convene in Joey's fancy new kitchen to lob some thoughts at four fascinating albums from the previous month. There's the new Brexit-flavoured record from Damon Albarn's reformed supergroup, Vince Staples' intriguing concept EP, TVAM's audiovisual psych experimentation and an elliptical, woozy newie from Kurt Vile, slack rock king and – hang on – Joey's new best friend!!? As ever, please rate, review and subscribe!

Joey and Jimi return with an episode delayed by the failure of Joey's second-hand laptop. Never mind! Features Christine and the Queens MJ-infused pop, Lil Wayne's blockbuster return, Idles second blast of joyous anger and some totally out of date references to National Album Day.

This month, Joey and Jimi run their eyes and ears over the shortlisted acts for the Mercury Prize 2018 and make some wild predictions. Plus they discuss Bodega's pleasing brand of wry post-punk, Let's Eat Grandma's critically adored Norfolk-pop opus and Mattiel's Jack White-approved '60s soul which, according to Joey's dad, "just sounds like Lulu". ***Please do rate, review and subscribe if you can.***

JJ's is back! Slightly later than we initially thought! This month, Joey and Jimi discuss the latest winner from Father John Misty's one-man sadness-factory, Pusha T's Kanye-produced instant classic and a befuddling third effort from CHVRCHES. They are also joined by podcaster, journalist and bestselling author Dolly Alderton who talks drunken guitar-playing, her love of John Martyn and men with terrible music taste.

After a long break, Jimi and Joey return for a new season of squabbling over what ratings to give recently released albums. This episode features a lengthy breakdown of ARCTIC MONKEYS surprising sixth record, praise for both COURTNEY BARNETT'S grungey return and PARQUET COURTS focused anger. And a difference of opinion over TOM MISCH. **Please rate, review and subscribe.**

It's a delayed 2018 kick-off for Jimi and Joey as they return to the rattly confines of the pod-kitchen. This month they discuss Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's leather-jacketed stasis, Shame's thrilling debut, N.E.R.D.'s confounding comeback album and (at last!) former EastEnders star Pam St Clement's relationship with their Kentish hometown.
