Baxter Dury – Allbarone

Baxter Dury’s Allbarone is a man staring into his drink, questioning every life choice that led him to this chain pub. The title track—produced by Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence + The Machine)—is a sleek, synth-driven shrug, equal parts self-loathing and sharp observation. Dury’s dry wit cuts through the gloom as he dissects London’s finest: moustachioed Shoreditch trendsetters, middle-class gangsters, and presumably himself.
