Last month, we got our first taste of what Pete Doherty and the gang have been cooking up for their first LP in over a decade. Now, just to get your weekend started off right, The Libertines have dropped “Anthem for Doomed Youth”—the second single off of Anthems for Doomed Youth after “Gunga Din.”
While still anthemic as the title suggests, “Anthem for Doomed Youth” showcases the notorious frontman’s warm crooning atop cinematic surf guitar. Doherty channels his inner Jarvis Cocker for the sweeping ballad. Check it out below.
Anthems for Doomed Youth is out on September 4 via Harvest.
