Peanut Butter is the second and final album by Welsh noise-pop band Joanna Gruesome, released in the spring of 2015. It received favorable reviews from critics and is the last album recorded with the lead singer Alanna McArdle before her departure from the band. [1]
In general, critics praised Peanut Butter as musically tighter, more self-aware, and more stylistically developed than their previous album, Weird Sister. [2] [3] [4] Their distinctive blend of harsh guitar riffs and "bubblegum" vocal harmonies with unexpected chords and progressions is a key feature of this album. [3] The lyrics have been praised for playfully blending "the abstract and the concrete" and for their "hyper-specificity" that pulls from personal experiences to create engaging and enigmatic songs. [2] [5]
All tracks are written by Owen Williams, Alanna McArdle, George Nicholls, Max Warren, and David Sandford.

The peanut, also known as the groundnut, goober (US), pindar (US) or monkey nut (UK), is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, being important to both small and large commercial producers. It is classified as both a grain legume and, due to its high oil content, an oil crop. World annual production of shelled peanuts was 44 million tonnes in 2016, led by China with 38% of the world total. Atypically among legume crop plants, peanut pods develop underground (geocarpy) rather than above ground. With this characteristic in mind, the botanist Carl Linnaeus gave peanuts the specific epithet hypogaea, which means "under the earth".
