Plus Jo has the Thursday Theme.

Jo’s joined by Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson, who chats about the band’s seventh album, No Gods No Masters, and chooses some tunes.

No Gods No Masters is out on 11th June.

β€œThis is our seventh record, the significant numerology of which affected the DNA of its content: the seven virtues, the seven sorrows, and the seven deadly sins,” Shirley says of the album’s twists and turns from capitalism and lust to loss and grief. β€œIt was our way of trying to make sense of how nuts the world is and the astounding chaos we find ourselves in. It’s the record we felt that we had to make at this time.”

Produced by Garbage and long-time collaborator Billy Bush, the seeds for No Gods No Masters were planted in summer 2018 in the desert in Palm Springs. The quartet convened at a home belonging to one of Steve Marker’s relatives and sketched out the skeleton of the album over two weeks, jamming, experimenting and feeling the songs out. They then took those demos and went their separate ways, before reconvening in Los Angeles to finish the record.

The band will be touring the UK with Blondie this November.

Plus Jo wants to hear your track suggestions for the Thursday Theme, relating to Indiana Jones, to mark the 40th anniversary of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. Send all your song suggestions to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk
