Arriving on the back of the group’s 2018 ‘Olympus Sleeping’ and a 2022 greatest hits collection, ‘Planet Nowhere’ was born of a five-day session with producer Youth at his Space Mountain studio in Spain, which led to the band recording a full album.
He says: “I’d been down in the barranca, and came back up to find the studio empty. So I picked up this weird six-string bass/guitar hybrid I’d never seen before and wrote this thing. On our last night, I started playing it with the guys. The drums came in hard, the bass pounded. It sounded like shit. Absolute shit.
“But Youth was there, saying ‘Can, Velvets, see where it takes you’ and ‘Why don’t you try it like that?’ But still the track just wouldn’t budge, locked in its own inertia. Youth says, ‘You’re getting there, just one more’ and almost instantly the song came out, from nothing to something, like a statue coming up out of marble.”
That song is Scared Of Nothing, which serves as the lead track from the album and is out now.
‘Planet Nowhere’ is out October 25 and available to pre-order from the official Razorlight store. Listen to Scared Of Nothing below.
