The London trio of vocalist and guitarist Stephanie Phillips, bassist Estella Adeyeri, and drummer Chardine Taylor-Stone return with an electronic extension to their catchy DIY post-punk with an LP based around the theme of different forms of home. With these newer keyboard element, among the standouts is the organ-infused I Will, with the refrain “You build a house, you build a roof, you build a happy home”, or Count to 10, with its simple Casiotone sounds, and the vulnerable, tender lyric “I would like to come home with you/I know that you might be untrue,” or closing track Sainted, which harks back to to 80s electro-pop. But Big Joanie are still most at home with grungey, fuzzy postpunk garage rock thudding bangers, and there’s no shortage of these such as the beautifully tender and catchy In My Arms, as well as What Are You Waiting For, Your Words, Confident Man, and Happier Still.
