First reaction to new Morrissey album 'Make-up Is A Lie' (bonus episode)

Super-fan Chris and newspaper journalist George give you their first reaction to the new Morrissey album 'Make-up Is A Lie'. It seems this is an album of "part twos" to much-loved songs from the back catalogue, with many tracks offering returns to some of Morrissey's central themes. Alcohol features prominently, particularly booze to excess. And the layered lyrics are a gift to fans like us, with so much to analyse. Grab a glass of wine and join us to discuss all this and more.

This is an audio-only, makeshift bonus episode, but we'll be back in a week or two with a full, professional video episode, when we'll be doing a deep dive into Bona Drag - and we're joined by someone who was there in the studio creating it with Morrissey. Find us on YouTube for our past shows, where we've interviewed key figures including Stephen Street, Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer.

Join us on Patreon for exclusive bonus episodes, access to the members-only WhatsApp chat, yearly deliveries of hand-made pin badges and a fair bit more. It doesn't cost a lot but it really helps us to keep the show going. Godspeed!
