In January, Peter Doherty announced a collaborative album with French musician Frédéric Lo. THE FANTASY LIFE OF POETRY & CRIME is scheduled for release on March 18th. Now, after “The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime” and “You Can’t Keep It From Me Forever”, they are releasing another song from it with “The Epidemiologist”. Watch the official video by director Roger Sargent here.

The collaboration with Frédéric Lo follows a strict division of labour: Lo provides the music and Doherty the lyrics. The new songs are to be understood as odes to the well-placed word.

Fans can also look forward to live shows with Doherty. After the album release in March, he wants to do a few gigs in Europe – including one in Cologne and one in Berlin. Tickets for the shows are available here.

The now 42-year-old became famous with his band The Libertines, with whom he released four studio albums. After a rift and the band split up in 2004, he continued his success with Babyshambles. He later reunited with The Libertines. The group last released an album together in 2015.

He also made a name for himself as a solo artist. His most recent solo album HAMBURG DEMONSTRATIONS is inspired by Doherty’s time in Hamburg and was released in 2016. Doherty last released a long player in 2019 together with his band Peter Doherty & the Puta Madres.
