“I f***ing hope so,” says Baxter Dury, deadpan and dapper as ever — besuited but with the laconic manner of someone who’s just got out of bed — in the bowels of The Social in Fitzrovia, musing on his new record, Allbarone, which he’s about to debut to a select crowd including Jarvis Cocker. “But I don’t know. I love that Charli xcx record, and in fact I played it to the producer Paul Epworth, and went, ‘I wanna make things like that.’ Most people thought I was delusional but he worked in a flavour of brat.”
