Due for release 12th September 2025 via Heavenly Recordings
[CD / Std LP / Indies Venetian Marble Blue LP]
The record, which will be released on September 12th, 2025, comes as Dury’s ninth studio effort. However, it is his first to be produced by chart mogul Paul Epworth, who is behind some major albums in recent years from the likes of Adele and Florence and the Machine.
Reflecting on the album as well as its lead single, Dury said: “This is the first track that Paul Epworth and I made and it quickly established why it was a good idea that we were working together. It’s a song about sitting in the rain outside an All Bar One contemplating why what just happened, happened in the way it did.”
The singer added: “It’s kind of a character arc that goes through the whole thing, two personalities,” he explains. “It’s very critical of people, this album, whoever they are, maybe some bloke with a moustache and sockless loafers in Shoreditch or a fat old Chiswick gangster lording it up in a really comfortable middle-class part of London.”
Across the span of Allbarone’s nine tracks, Dury mused, “it does sound really contemporary,” but that it heralded a new era for him as, “It’s just something that’s brand new for me. It’s quite exciting, really.”
