  5. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    Shouldn’t be seen as a soundtrack to a break-up – it’s much too vital for that. It’s dripping in sadness, something exacerbated by White’s lonesome heartbroken vocals

Allbarone is the next destination for Dury as an experimental artist; he’s successfully been able to capture something new with his twist on hyperpop. The result is an intriguing effort that catapults him into the future realms of pop Beats Per Minute

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

Allbarone is Baxter Dury’s most hypnotic and groovy record yet, fusing his sardonic wit with club-ready beats. Distinct, contemporary, and utterly Dury, the artist’s ninth album proves he’s far from running out of ideas Northern Transmissions
