Baxter Dury: Floorshow

I just discovered Baxter Dury’s album Floorshow. It isn’t exactly new, but I really think it deserves a shout.

Baxter Dury 

Son of the late and legendary musician Ian Dury, Baxter crafted an amazing album that really takes you to the darkest and most fascinating regions of existence.
Some may perceive the album as a woeful tale of disintegrated relationships. In my opinion it sounds more like a trip through Cocaine-addled London parties. Production-wise the album jumps between screeching guitars ands whispers and erratic drums and Hammonds more reminiscent of the olden days. Dury’s band consists of ex-Spiritualized members, but despite the shoe-gazing comparisons, the melodies aren’t monotonous, and can be quite catchy at times.
This is a gloomy and atmospheric record really merits a thorough listen.

You can stream the entire album here, and watch the video for Francesca’s Party which is just as perplexing and beautiful, below.
