‘I Thought I Was Better Than You’ ushers in a new chapter for Baxter Dury, showcasing a character he describes as ‘faux-confrontational.’ This album delves deep into his childhood experiences while grappling with the complexities of growing up in the shadow of a famous parent. With a surname that carries weight but lacking a solid foundation, Baxter candidly navigates the juxtaposition of his talents and the expectations that come with them.
The album’s centerpiece, ‘Shadow,’ poignantly captures this struggle: ‘No one will get over that you’re someone’s son/Even though you want to be like Frank Ocean/But you don’t sound like him, you sound just like Ian.’ This limited edition vinyl is a must-have for fans seeking the best indie music vinyl records.
