Baxter Dury announces his first album in over five years, 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," Baxter Dury says of the album's lead single.

“It’s kind of a character arc that goes through the whole thing, two personalities,” he explains. “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,” he continues on the album, itself.

“I don’t want to say it’s contemporary,” he summarises. “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.”

Baxter will be heading on the road to UK and Europe, including headlining his biggest show yet at London’s Eventim Apollo on 22 November 2025.
