Baxter Dury shares news of forthcoming album ‘Allbarone’ 

Baxter Dury has just shared the news that his brand new album, ‘Allbarone’, will be arriving on 12th September via Heavenly Recordings, acting as a follow up to 2023’s ‘I Thought I Was Better Than You’. 

The forthcoming record has been produced by Paul Epworth, who is known for his work with Adele and Florence + The Machine. The pair apparently arranged a meeting to discuss working together after Epworth watched Baxter’s performance at Glastonbury’s Park Stage. Together they have created the nine track record, which will be available as a CD, black vinyl, and in an exclusive venetian marble blue colour. 

Alongside the record’s announcement, Baxter has also shared its title track. “This is the first track that Paul Epworth and I made and it quickly established why it was a good idea that we were working together,” he has said of Allbarone’. “It’s a song about sitting in the rain outside an All Bar One contemplating why what just happened, happened in the way it did.” 

“It’s kind of a character arc that goes through the whole thing, two personalities,” he continues, explaining the concept behind the track. “It’s very critical of people, this album, whoever they are, maybe some bloke with a moustache and sockless loafers in Shoreditch or a fat old Chiswick gangster lording it up in a really comfortable middle class part of London.” 

“I don’t want to say it’s contemporary,” Baxter adds. “Because I sound like a c*nt using that word. But it does sound really contemporary. It doesn’t sound like a Harrods hamper band made it. It doesn’t sound like a band made it all. Which is what I wanted most of all. It’s just something that’s brand new for me. It’s quite exciting, really.”
