It's the era of nepo babies, sure - but few artists have owned up to the phenomenon with a sense of humour, nor properly investigated it in album format. Baxter Dury, the infamous artist whose merits ironically don't exist purely insofar as him being the son of Ian, now makes himself an exception to this rule. The new album I Thought I Was Better Than You is an honest yet well-humoured take on Dury's own fortunate upringing - with highlights like 'Sincere', 'So Much Money' and 'Pale White Nissan' hearing him sift through the memories, with various self-caricatures used to interrogate the double-edged sword of at least partially-inheriting an entertainment brand. It's not just this, though: it's also a rumination Dury's childhood as a whole, being the sonic extension of Dury's 2021 coming-of-age autobiography, Chaise Lounge.
