Another new Libertines track all set to feature on the band’s third album ‘Anthems For Doomed Youth‘ was aired on the BBC last weekend during the T In The Park Festival. Take look via YouTube below.
The song has been added to the band’s setlist during their summer festival run ahead of its release on the comeback LP in September.
It was recorded in Thailand with producer Jake Gosling, considered by some as a surprising choice because of his background with pop acts such as One Direction and Ed Sheeran.
“We had wish lists flying back and forth, from the Leckies through to the Epworths and Stephen Street,” Carl Barat told NME of their pick. “What it boiled down to was that we wanted to try something a bit new with someone who is a bit new.”
“We wanted someone who is getting their thing going, rather than someone who is just going to put us through their machine. This isn’t a heritage band making a heritage album.”
