He’s also sharing new single ‘Aylesbury Boy’.
Set for release on 2nd June via Heavenly Recordings, Baxter Dury has announced his new album ‘I Thought I Was Better Than You’.
Produced by Paul White, the record is set to feature singer-songwriters Eska and JGrrey, as well as Baxter’s regular vocalist Madeline Hart.
Giving us our first taste of what to expect, Baxter has shared new track ‘Aylesbury Boy’ alongside. “This song is about coming from one place and arriving at another without fitting in to either, and I think of these people like characters from Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away,” he explains.
