Down in Albion

Babyshambles

A sprawling, seventy-minute document of London indie-sleaze. Shambolic melodies and slurred poetry recorded with a feeling of imminent collapse.

November 14, 2005 · Noiselab Records

Find on Amazon

A restless and poetic sprawl that oscillates between defiant energy and drug-hazed melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition into the skeletal reggae rhythm of Pentonville
Kate Moss's fragile guest vocals drifting over the opening track's grime
The anthemic but weary swell of the chorus in Albion
The way the guitar lines nearly collapse during the bridge of Killamangiro
