Baxter Dury has shared the new track “Carla’s Got a Boyfriend” that is taken from his forthcoming solo album The Night Chancers which will be released on March 20th, 2020 through Heavenly Recordings. Baxter explains of the song: “It’s about someone who wants believe that Carla’s got a new boyfriend but it might not be her boyfriend and that someone might not even have gone out with Carla in the first place…”

Baxter Dury on Night Chancers:

“Night Chancers is about being caught out in your attempt at being free”, it’s about someone leaving a hotel room at three in the morning. You’re in a posh room with big Roman taps and all that, but after they go suddenly all you can hear is the taps dripping, and all you can see the debris of the night is around you. Then suddenly a massive party erupts, in the room next door. This happened to me and all I could hear was the night chancer, the hotel ravers”.

The album was co-produced by long time collaborator Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, John Grant, Arctic Monkeys) and Baxter, and was recorded at Hoxa studios West Hampstead in May 2019.
