Back in March, Libertines frontman Peter Doherty said he was putting the “finishing touches” on his latest record, the follow-up to 2009’s Grace/Wastelands. Today he’s officially announced the album: Hamburg Demonstrations is out December 2 on BMG/Clouds Hill. It was recorded over six months in Hamburg, with Johann Scheerer on production. The first single, “The Whole World is Our Playground,” was released in April for Record Store Day. Before that, Doherty shared his tribute to Amy Winehouse, “Flags of the Old Regime,” which appears here. The record also features “Hell To Pay At The Gates Of Heaven,” a song written in light of the Paris attacks, which Doherty debuted this June.

Last year, the Libertines returned with Anthems for Doomed Youth, their first new record since their self-titled LP in 2004.
