Baxter Dury - Schadenfreude

Baxter Dury is pleased to announce the third track 'Schadenfreude' from the forthcoming studio album 'Allbarone' which will be released on Heavenly Recordings on September 12th 2025. The album is produced by Paul Epworth.

Over the top of a towering European rhythm track that pulses as it keeps rising to ecstatic heights, Baxter Dury brilliantly recalls finding a streak of bitter humour in the misfortune of others. A brilliant and uplifting celebration of someone else's failures.

Baxter Dury on 'Schadenfreude': "I loved making Schadenfreude at Paul Epworth's palatial studio. As soon as we had the backing track, it remained on loop played through these giant bespoke speakers that looked like Cocaine Daleks. It has this optimistic pulsating French dance feel compromised by this slightly over honest fragile man lyric. Schadenfreude."

The track is accompanied by a captivating music video directed by Gareth Bowen and produced by London-based studio Blinkink.

Director Gareth Bowen adds: “I loved the tune. It instantly felt really cinematic - like something straight out of a pulp ‘80s or ‘90s movie the first time I heard it. I did have to Google what schadenfreude meant, but the meaning - people being weirdly thrilled when things go wrong for someone else - spoke to me. It also felt perfect for building a twisted little narrative that’s atmospheric, joyful, comedic and spooky too.”

Baxter will be heading on the road to UK & Europe, including headlining his biggest show yet at London’s Eventim Apollo on November 22nd 2025.

Baxter Dury - 'Schadenfreude' is out now via Heavenly Recordings. At present, the Paul Epworth 12" Extended mixes are promo only.
