]]>“Shiver” sees The Libertines doing what they do best. A captivating drum beat intertwined with minimalistic but punctuating guitar and bass lines set the stage for the song’s lyrics to paint a vivid story. The band returns to their recurring themes of Albion, unforeseen goodbyes, and utopian dreams of Arcadia.
Giving fans some insights in the making of the track, The Libertines’ Carl Barat and Peter Doherty shared that “Shiver” is actually two songs joined in one. Each of them brought a song to the table and decided to simply “mash them up.”
“I would probably find it difficult to work out who did what because we were both there the whole time through its creation,” Doherty said while adding that the original title of the song was “The Last Dream Of Every Dying Soldier.”
The Libertines will release All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade on 8 March. The album was announced with a single “Run Run Run” followed by a track titled “Night of the Hunter.” This will be the group’s first album since 2015’s Anthems for Doomed Youth.

]]>Our favorite artists are slowly going back to sharing their new albums with the world, and Green Day’s Saviors is definitely this week’s most exciting new release. They teased it with several singles, and ’90s-inspired “Bobby Sox” might be one of the very best.
This week has also been pretty epic for fans of alternative sound, with several of our favorite bands sharing new music with the world. Everyone from Bleachers and IDLES to Cage the Elephant and The Libertines have been busy in the studio in recent months, and they’re finally ready to show us what they’ve been up to.
Several indie-leaning collaborations also hit the shelves this week. Noah Kahan joined forces with Sam Fender for the new version of “Homesick”, while Mumford & Sons partnered up with Pharrell Williams for “Good People”, their first single in years.

]]>The Libertines released their last studio album, Anthems for Doomed Youth, back in 2015. Now, frontman Carl Barât has confirmed that he and Pete Doherty have already got their studio sessions scheduled.
“We’ve been down and done a few writing sessions already,” Barât revealed. “But we’re going to sort of bed in and do something a bit less control freak this time, rather doing lots and compiling and seeing what’s working and what isn’t. But there will be quite a few stories around the corner I think.”
The band also recently launched their own hotel in Margate in the UK called Albion Rooms. Regarding the hotel’s status, Barât said: “I’ve got more ideas and ambitions than I could possibly ever achieve. You know, I think the art is not spreading yourself too thin. I spent two years trying to get this hotel, gallery, studio up and running… We are really close now, actually.”

Drummer Gary Powell recently spoke about the band’s fourth studio album as well, saying that the fans will be treated with the familiar sound they love.
“The last thing in the world we would attempt to do would be to reinvent the wheel,” – said Powell. “We have our own identity, and we’ll stick to our own identity as much as we can do. It’s made us who we are. But having said that, there is an opportunity for us to investigate and to investigate new approaches to what we do.”
According to the band’s previous updates on social media, The Libertines are currently recording fourth studio album at their studio in Margate hotel The Albion Rooms.
Formed in 1997, The Libertines quickly rose to fame as one of Britain’s most exciting rock bands. They achieved major success with first two studio albums, 2002’s Up the Bracket and 2004’s The Libertines, but ended up splitting due to various inner conflicts.
The band members settled their differences in 2010 when they reunited for shows at Reading and Leeds Festivals. They officially got back together in 2014, releasing their third studio album, Anthems For Doomed Youth, a year later.
