Carl Barat - Victory Gin Demo

Released 3rd April 2013



Carl Barat is one of those artists who can do no wrong in my opinion, I loved The Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things and his solo material, I'm always fairly upset when it seems a bit quiet on the releases front with him. You may have noticed this is the second track I've done tonight with a Soundcloud link, I will now admit that I've only just learnt to integrate it into my blog, I've had Soundcloud stuff I've wanted to do in the past but been completely baffled as to how I put it on here, anyway I've now figured it out so I'll quiet down on the progress of my competence with a computer.

Anyway I've gone off topic and I'm here to talk about something in particular, Victory Gin, Barat's new demo and it's exactly what you'd expect; poetic lyricism, lingering guitar work and a minimalist sound working perfectly with the vocals. It's less Libertines and more Dirty Pretty Things with a clear heavy influence from his solo material, this for me being a brilliant direction as I loved his solo album and have listened to at least one track from it a week since it's release. Brilliant track hopefully to see light on a new album sometime soon.
