NME

The reunited band released their last studio LP – 2004's self-titled second album – through Rough Trade, but have now announced that they are signed to the major label.

The band inked the deal on Ko Si Chang Island in Thailand, a boat ride away from the Hope Rehabilitation Centre where Pete Doherty is currently in rehab, and have stated that they plan to release their third LP in 2015.

Speaking in a statement about the deal, Doherty said, "I don’t know what to say, I’m so happy. It was a beautiful day." Co-frontman Carl Barât added: "After everything we have been through The Albion sails on course again, I couldn't be more excited."

Be interesting to see what they come up with. 10 years is a long time.

They were my favourite band in the 00s. I'm looking forwards to hearing their new songs, and also probably new recordings of some of those old songs that they never officially released. They said "You're my Waterloo" might be on the new album. I loved that one.

Incredible band. Have more great songs in their two albums than most bands have in a lifetime.

Their 'new' single Gunga Din. I never got into them back in their heyday but I'm digging this track. New album drops Sept. 4th.

whats the best album to come out after a band broke up for a long period of time?

 

[inky]

Pretty good.

 

[OnPoint]

Gonna have to give this a shot, I do like their previous work.

This single is interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I don't dislike it on first listen.

Are you Pete Doherty?

mbv by My Bloody Valentine, Third by Portishead and No Cities to Love by Sleater Kinney spring to mind.

I dunno about "best", but The Darkness just took the same basic vacation as The Libertines and they barely missed a beat.

 

[gdt]

Goddamn dem teeth.



Sounds good though.

 

[PillarEN]

Nervous to hear the single. I'm just gonna listen to the full album when it comes out. All aboard the ship of Albion.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Pete will never die

 

[Erevador]

New track is good.

Glasgow Coma Blues

Nice. The intro reminds me of Babyshambles a bit and then it's pure Libertines goodness.

 

[Jzero]

I had forgotten about them. What Katie Did is my favorite song by them.

 

[CoolOff]

I really don't like Gunga Din, it's like the bad parts of Babyshambles, but I'm still interested in what they might do on a full album.

Edit: SHIIIII the other one is amazing.
