We Checked Out the New Single from THE LIBERTINES — Gunga Din

The Libertines will release their highly-anticipated and long-awaited third album, Anthems For Doomed Youth, on September 4, 2015, via Harvest Records.

Gunga Din’ the first single taken from ‘Anthems for Doomed Youth’ and the video has just been published.

Barbed vocals hook into your outer mesh  like claws...
Barbed vocals hook into your outer mesh like claws…

We checked it out:

There are peaks of guitar, a bass guitar that chungs at all the right times, and a reggae beat brushed with low notes that are so presumptuous and cross they almost give you the jitters.

All this reflects the darker voice that loafs on the inside.

The percussion streams at you like a scattering of hail hitting the freeway concrete…

And the hook on the barbed-wire vocal is so sharp that it claws at your outer being like a mad jackal.
