Babyshambles Buckles Down for New Album

Pete Doherty is taking time away from his usual antics to work on a new Babyshambles album. Novel concept, huh?

The act's ramping up work on its follow-up to 2007's Down in Albion (review) (Astralwerks), according to a piece in NME. While no title for the album's been proposed, the act's tipping songs with titles such as "352 Days" and "Tinker's Daughter."

So far, it looks like Doherty won't repeat his recent cock-up where he accidentally sang verses of a Nazi-related song to a German audience, but, hey, those drugs may make him do strange, strange things before this record's wrapped up.
