A buoyant spirit permeates Peter Doherty’s fifth solo album, Felt Better Alive, a gorgeous collection of poetic vignettes, both acoustic and orchestral, indie-folk and country, poignant and outright comic. Peter’s not only a survivor but a creative powerhouse, with more projects, plans and reasons to stay alive than he’s ever had. And in 2025, the year he turns 46, with Felt Better Alive, brings us some of the most deft, bouncy and charming songs of his always melodic life. Peter Doherty has released eleven albums - Four with The Libertines: Up The Bracket (2002), The Libertines (2004), Anthems For Doomed Youth (2015) All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade (2024); three with Babyshambles: Down In Albion (2005), Shotters Nation (2007) & Sequel To The Prequel (2013); two solo albums: Grace/Wastelands (2009) & Hamburg Demonstrations (2016); one as Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres (2019) and a collaboration with Frederic Lo The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime (2022).
