The Libertines co-frontman and UK indie icon Pete Doherty is set to drop his second solo album this December. Entitled Hamburg Demonstrations, its release is preceded by the shimmering first single ‘I Don’t Love Anyone (But You’re Not Just Anyone)’.
Hamburg Demonstrations is another showcase of Doherty’s poetic songwriting prowess and features more of the laments for wasted youth that saw him billed as the voice of a new generation during his heyday with The Libertines.
‘Hell To Pay At The Gates Of Heaven’ was written after last November’s terror attacks in Paris and meditates on the sad fact that young people seem to be picking up guns instead of guitars and turning to extremism.
Hamburg Demonstrations was produced, recorded, and mixed by Johann Scheerer at Clouds Hill Recordings in Hamburg, Germany. Doherty, who always wanted to record in Hamburg, turned up at the studio unannounced one day and based himself there for the next six months.
The album is out 2nd December and you can hear the single ‘I Don’t Love Anyone (But You’re Not Just Anyone)’ in the embed below.
