The follow-up to his 2009 solo debut ‘Grace/Wastelands’, ‘Hamburg Demonstrations’ will be released on 2 December.
Produced, recorded and mixed by Johann Scheerer, The Libertines and Babyshambles man took to Hamburg to make the album after ‘falling in love’ with the Clouds Hill Recordings studio and moving to the German city for six months. The record also features a new recording of the Amy Winehouse tribute ‘Flags Of The Old Regime’ (now called ‘Flags From The Old Regime’).
Meanwhile, ’Hell To Pay At The Gates Of Heaven’ was written after the Paris terror attacks last November and features the lyric “Come on boys choose your weapon J-45 or AK-47?”, in reference to John Lennon’s favourite acoustic guitar, the Gibson J-45.
