Baxter Dury

“I Thought I Was Better Than You is filled with so many ideas and arresting details that it’s hard to believe it’s all done in under 30 minutes,” reads one review of the latest album by Baxter Dury, one of the must unpredictable names on the independent music scene in Britain. This time around, Dury doesn’t just blend pop melodies with an unvarnished garage sound, he combines musical history with futuristic visions, borrowing from American hip-hop by the handful as he recounts his own childhood and personal experiences.
