Following the news that they'd be releasing a brand new album this September, The Libertines have dropped the first cut from the record - new single 'Gunga Din' - along with the music video for the track.

Annie Mac premiered their first new material in over a decade last night (July 2), with the video coming shortly after - a piece filmed in the sex capital of Thailand Pattaya and directed by Roger Sargent.
