Baxter Dury announces new album I Thought I Was Better Than You

Baxter Dury’s seventh album will be released on June 2nd.

Aylesbury Boy, a collaboration with JGrrey, has been released to mark the announcement of Baxter Dury‘s new album I Thought I Was Better Than You.

Danny Brown is another guest of the album which was produced by Paul White, while Dury has said of the single:

This song is about coming from one place and arriving at another without fitting in to either, and I think of these people like characters from Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away.

Touring is due to start in June and will later include some rather high profile Britpop supporting; with Pulp in London and Cardiff, and Blur at Belgium’s Lokerse Feesten.
