Hey, my pod people! The new episode of 5-9’s Album of the Month is out now!
As always, I had a great time discussing the five new albums for May with Andrew Belt of the above-mentioned 5-9 and Karl Blakesley of New Music Weekly UK. We covered a few you’ve seen here on Check This Out!, like my glowing review of Everything Harmony by The Lemon Twigs and the respectable debut from Sad Boys Club. We also talk about My Soft Machine, the highly anticipated sophomore album from Mercury Prize winner Arlo Parks, what may be the last album from BC Camplight, and the solo debut from electro-pop vet Alison Goldfrapp. We’ve got a lot of high praise for many of these records, yet one is tied for our lowest-scoring record of the year. Which will it be? Find out here:
If you are interested in listening to which albums we’ll be covering in June, here’s the list:
PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE by Christine and the Queens - out this Friday
The Age of Pleasure by Janelle Monáe - out this Friday

Off Planet by Django Django - out June 16th
