Baxter Dury announces new album, Allbarone, with headline tour set for November

Baxter Dury will release new album, Allbarone, and has confirmed a headline tour will begin this November.

Allbarone will release on September 12 of this year, with a lead single of the same name out now. Dury‘s last album, I Thought I Was Better Than You, released on June 2, 2023. The latest album from Dury has been produced by Paul Epworth, the first album he’s worked on in five years. A chance meeting between Epworth and Baxter after the latter’s lauded Glastonbury Festival appearance led to the creation of this latest album. Dury has frequently teased being back in the studio on his Instagram, and an announcement for Allbarone today confirms the North London Church Studios recording dates.

Dury said of Allbarone: “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. 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. 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, because I sound like a cunt 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.”
