Babyshambles are releasing a new ep full of new material on the 4th of December.
The new ep titled the 'Blinding EP' features five new tracks from the band
which were recorded and produced in London by the band themselves.
I never really got into Babyshambles when the band first took off and
released their debut album 'Down in Albion'. I took time to listen to
the album a few times but it never really grew on me, however there was
the odd track I liked such as 'Fuck Forever', 'Killamangiro' and 'Albion'.
Because of this, I wasn’t so sure if I was going to enjoy 'The
Blinding EP'. Now, after a few listens I am really hooked. The ep starts
off with the title track 'The Blinding' the tracks really mellow sounding
and sounds a bit like a one man band, the chorus is quite catchy with
some good breakdowns. Track two is titled 'Love You but You're Green'
this tracks good but nothing special, once again due to the mellowness.
Track three is where the ep steps up its pace for the stunning ska sounding
'I Wish' which has a stunning sing a long chorus. Track four 'Beg, Steal
or Borrow' is a pretty decent song and has the classic Babyshambles sound
to it.
The ep finishes off with 'Sedative' and it seems Babyshambles have left
the best till last, the track clocks in at just over four minutes and
starts off with some pretty mellow guitar playing and Pete saying "Seventeen"
a few times before the song goes all up beat with a sing a long chorus
and then returns to mellowness etc.
You cant help but notice how talented Pete Doherty actually is. The man
knows how to play a good tune when ever he’s sober or off his face.
He and the rest of the Babyshambles have come up with a great ep that
needs a few listens before you really appreciate it. There’s no
better time to release it than the starting date of the bands December
tour.
4/5
