More about: Baxter Dury

Wordsmith and musician Baxter Dury has announced plans for his next album The Night Chancers. The news comes with an excellent, brand new single 'Slumlord', and accompanying visuals. 

'Slumlord' is another disco-flecked electronic track topped by Dury's clever, scummy poetry. Like Dury highlight 'Miami', this new cut benefits from abrupt, staccato guitar and bulging bass. The matching video sees the vocalist dance and swagger around a typical flat placed in a light box studio. See the visuals; hear the new sounds:

'Slumlord' will feature as track number two on the brand new album The Night Chancers, which is due 20 March 2020 via Heavenly Recordings. Co-produced by Arctic Monkeys and John Grant collaborator Craig Silvey, the new one was recorded in West Hampstead's Hoxa studios this summer.

On the new album, Baxter said: “Night Chancers is about being caught out in your attempt at being free, it’s about someone leaving a hotel room at three in the morning. You’re in a posh room with big Roman taps and all that, but after they go suddenly all you can hear is the taps dripping, and all you can see the debris of the night is around you. Then suddenly a massive party erupts, in the room next door. This happened to me and all I could hear was the night chancer, the hotel ravers”.
