PETER DOHERTY’s Balloon Is Out Of Tune
Reveries for the laziest day of the week
18 May 2025
Since PETER DOHERTY got clean and living in France with his wife and big dog, far away from the temptations of party cities he became quite productive, releasing albums with one-time outfit Puta Madres, with French musician Frédéric Lo and with his first-and-forever band The Libertines he scored one of the best albums of 2024 with All Quiet
On The Eastern Esplanade.
And last Friday he launched his 3rd solo longplayer, named Felt Better Alive .
The Independent (British newspaper) says: “These new songs are charming, callous,
witty, boorish, tender, transcendent and obnoxious by turns or all at once. Doherty remains
a charismatic scene evoker – even though you can’t follow the thread of all his tales, he still makes you feel you were there.”
One of the jaunty tunes is OUT OF TUNE BALLOON
(great song title, lol). A playful pub ditty for all.
