Discussing new single, "Schadenfreude", Baxter Dury says: "I loved making Schadenfreude at Paul Epworth's palatial studio. As soon as we had the backing track, it remained on loop played through these giant bespoke speakers that looked like Cocaine Daleks. It has this optimistic pulsating French dance feel compromised by this slightly over honest fragile man lyric. Schadenfreude."
The track is accompanied by a music video directed by Gareth Bowen and produced by London-based studio Blinkink.
Director Gareth Bowen adds: “I loved the tune. It instantly felt really cinematic - like something straight out of a pulp ‘80s or ‘90s movie the first time I heard it. I did have to Google what schadenfreude meant, but the meaning - people being weirdly thrilled when things go wrong for someone else - spoke to me. It also felt perfect for building a twisted little narrative that’s atmospheric, joyful, comedic and spooky too.”
