The Libertines are officially back. The on-again, off-again British rockers have announced All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade, their first album in eight years, and shared its lead single, “Run, Run, Run.” Listen to the track below.
Spanning 11 tracks and produced by Dimitri Tikovoï, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade arrives in full on March 8th. “Our first record was born out of panic, and disbelief that we were actually allowed to be in a studio; the second was born of total strife and misery; the third was born of complexity; this one feels like we were all actually in the same place, at the same speed, and we really connected,” said Carl Barât in a statement.
With rousing hand claps and a blown-out, singalong chorus, “Run, Run, Run” takes you straight back to The Libertines’ garage rock revival glory days. “Tonight we’re gonna bring tomorrow’s happiness/ Gonna live like it’s the end,” Pete Doherty sings, ever the party boy.
The LP follows 2015’s Anthems for a Doomed Youth, while last year the band reissued their debut album Up the Bracket in honor of its 20th anniversary.
