: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: It would have been completely understandable if Baxter Dury had :,
: spent his career shying away from the family name. After all, :
:' the shadow cast by his father, Ian Dury, remains both a long ':
,: and portentous one; fans may even note that his sixth album is :,
: being released almost 20 years to the day since the elder Dury's :
:' untimely death. ':
,: :,
: Even so, Dury has managed to plot has own uncommon course :
:' without being particularly encumbered by his father's legacy. ':
,: From his 2002 debut, Len Parrot's Memorial Lift, up to 2017's :,
: underrated Prince of Tears, the now-48-year-old has proven his :
:' worth as a judicious lyricist and - more significantly - an ':
,: excellent inhabiter of characters. :,
: :
:' Then there's the music, which has run the gamut of alternative ':
,: indie to synthpop to sleazy crooner. It's not hard to see why :,
: Dury's biggest fanbase is in France, for example: much of his :
:' catalogue has treaded the same line between sultriness and ':
,: sleaziness as Serge Gainsbourg's, frequently delivered with an :,
: impassive sneer that thumbs its nose at the unenlightened. :
:' ':
,: The Night Chancers sees Dury operate on that same musical plane. :,
: With vocalist Madelaine Hart providing a breathy counterpoint to :
:' the gorgeous deep rumble of his voice, songs like Samurai sound ':
,: like they were recorded in a haze of Gauloises smoke and red :,
: wine. The fuzzy bassline on Saliva Hog and the strings and :
:' saxophone on Hello I'm Sorry could easily pass for 1970s ':
,: tracks, if not for the various references to social media, while :,
: the more vulnerable Daylight sees him soften his belligerence. :
:' ':
,: The Night Chancers of the title are, in his own words, "failed :,
: fashionistas, Instagram voyeurs, jilted Romeos reeking :
:' insecurity; the willingly unaware; the comically self-deluded." ':
,: Their stories are told in vignettes such as Carla's Got a :,
: Boyfriend ("He's got horrible trousers and a small car") while :
:' Sleep People scoffs at the pathetic hangers-on of the dwindling ':
,: fashion set. The potently grimy Slumlord ("I'm the Milky Bar :,
: kid, soiled trousers / Shiny cheekbones like graveyards in the :
:' sun") is the kind of ne'er-do-well character assassination that ':
,: Dury excels at. :,
: :
:' There's a sense that amidst the takedowns and pugnacity, Dury ':
,: both recognises and rejects the characters in these songs. He :,
: says as much, if you listen carefully: the album's opening lines :
:' sneer "I'm not your f***in' friend...", but the closing salvo ':
,: of Hart singing "Baxter loves you" on Say Nothing provides a :,
: counterpoint to such hostility. Yes, there's a lot to unravel in :
:' an album that's only 31 minutes long but, crucially, you'll ':
,: want to return to try to figure it all out. :,
: :
:' ':
