Peter Doherty and the puta madres - should never work, Peter believed it would and we all made it happen. I hope it’s remembered as it was made, imperfect yes, but full of love and courage. Thanks for listening
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
‘The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime' is now a little over 1 month from release... Peter, Frederic & all of the team are immensely proud of the record, and hope you all love as much as we do… ♥️⬇️
Shoreleave - an important song in ours and Peter’s story - I always felt it was Peter submitting to everyone close him that his fight to remain an addict was coming to an end....I dunno really but if you’re gonna do it - do it in a beautiful song x

I’m Jai - I’m taking over the strap originals Twitter feed tonight. I manage Peter & the band, the record label and I also ‘produced’ this record - can’t wait to get started x
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Punk buck bonafide - Peter was adamant to do it in one take, it took a while but we got it. Ride the red shark to the centre of the dream - I should coco.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Paradise is under your nose - jack
@trampolene_band
hugely important writing contribution to the record...inimitable and naively beautiful words jack put together for Peter to sing and we really focussed Jack’s delivery on this - sweet to say the least
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Punk buck Bonafide - a lyrical masterclass from Peter, perhaps some of his best in this one track. This I guess is one that got away for me though....I wanted to lay this down properly and get it perfect, too good a song to leave to chance.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
A fool there was - I always loved the searing honestly in the song to feature the most important original puta madre
@drewhelsinki
on double bass. Not only a sweet mother fucker and musically gifted but in this band more importantly multi-lingual.

Someone else to be...don’t be confused though; this is a cover, changed the title due to the publishers. It’s a window for songwriters into the libertines song ‘don’t look back into the sun’ with thanks to

#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Travelling Tinker - Miki’s violin really pins this tune, her playing style is so very emotive and she recorded this at a very tough time. We love you Miki x
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
A bit late but with All at sea When listening to a mix I remember
@petedoherty
saying ‘I’d like to see if someone can work out the guitar tab on that solo’...a solo that will never be repeated.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
French, Spanish, English and Welsh - He was the only person on the bus who could actually understand what everyone said, always. Let’s just say there were some very funny interpretations by the rest of us along the way.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Travelling tinker if you listen very closely you can hear an episode ‘Columbo’ which was naturally rolling in the studio throughout the recording 🤦♂️
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
The steam -
@rarueda1
subtle drumming style in this really changed the song as it was played live prior to recording...special mention to Andy Newlove who’s on 3rd guitar on this - the unsung hero of the gang.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
We tracked live drums, piano, keys, bass and guitars in the 4 days we spent in that house. It Felt like a very special time x
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Narcissistic teen makes first XI - came together in the studio as if by magic...an old Peter demo that
@migglesPuta
dug out of the vault - it was given a groove and great intro and it was set.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
I’d lined up several excellent producers to make this record, but
@petedohery
had other ideas and continually told me I was doing it and that was that. I guess time’ll tell whether that was a good idea🤷🏼♂️
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
The band ‘The puta madres’ was brought together by Peter only 2 weeks before a solo tour began in 2016...the infamous Eudaimonia tour - meaning the internal quest for happiness; a meandering quest in this instance.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Paradise is under your nose Sonically I wanted it to sit somewhere near the velvet underground’s eponymously titled album...Peter kinda liked that idea to not throw the kitchen sink in which would’ve been easy to do with this track.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
The steam - the first part of what I’d say was the heart of the record, a old country story of grief, someone searching through the wreckage for answers - with a bit of no, no, no - yeah, yeah, yeah !
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Shoreleave -
@migglesputa
taking the lead vocal is a highlight for me, you can hear his reluctance to take the stage...just makes it all the better.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Travelling tinker another song about ‘Alan wass’ - lyrically hugely personal to Peter - it was nice to watch the song develop mostly played live in front of bewildered crowds respectfully nodding but secretly wanting the opening Riff to ‘fuck forever’.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Remember remember the 3rd of September... The
@trampolene_band
album ‘Love No Less Than A Queen’ + the ‘Remember’ video are both out tomorrow!
Pre-order & show some love ♥️
The house became the star of the show. Without it we can safety say this record wouldn’t exist, for too many reasons to mention.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Someone else to be - the band had made this a live standard primarily for the incredible but terrifying reopening of the Bataclan....it was gradually worked into something special.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
We’re really excited to be working with

Incidentally there are only 2 guitar overdubs on the whole record - jack had really locked into Peters playing style and it made for something really cool in my mind.

#TimsTwitterListeningParty
We called in Dan Cox
@danurchin
an experienced engineer who helped us make a studio in the front room of a house in normandy - the beautiful French fishing village. Dan made everything work and spiritually too, where many others had failed before him!
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Who’s been having you over - was always gonna be the first single...belting riffs and hooks, including that organ intro....was hard to get right in the mix.
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
All at sea - we’re off - The first track we recorded, the first one mixed and I thought if we could crack this one sound-wise we’d be alright. Katia on the fender Rhodes seemed to have finally framed this old song that Peter had, finally ready x
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
Lamentable ballad of Gascony ave - we laid the groove down in etretat but this was the most difficult to shape lyrically...Peter would generally improvise new lines, stream of consciousness. Safe to say this took some time.
