Dirty Pretty Things release album preview
Tweet this!I was lucky enough a few weeks ago to be stood with Carl Barat while we watched The Rascals play a small intimate gig in Shoreditch. I asked him what he was working on and, to my ignorant surprise, DPT are releasing a new album on June 30th! That one certainly slipped me by.
So, as is the fashion these days, DPT have released a sample of their album, in the form of ‘Hippy Son’.
‘Hippy Son’ starts with a gently tapped bass drum and soon after a simple acoustic guitar riff comes through and then the full band. Carl’s lyrics are sung with more grit and dirt than I’ve ever heard from him before. If this new material is anything like the rest of the album, then this reviewer can’t wait to get the album.
The album ‘Romance At Short Notice’, out in the UK on June 30th.
Thanks Jacob. I will be playing this on my show tomorrow night too!
