Razorlight have dropped the new track Zombie Love from their forthcoming album ‘Planet Nowhere’.

The punk-tinged track is the latest offering from the first album from Razorlight’s classic line-up in 16 years, with frontman Johnny Borrell’s charismatic lyrics focussing on a story of stop-start love.

Speaking of the song, he says:“Zombie Love was the first thing that Andy [Burrows, drummer] and I wrote when we got back together. I was trying to land it somewhere between Outkast, Beck’s ‘Midnite Vultures’ and The Pixies. If I didn’t manage that then sue me.

“I spent a while listening to songs from the ‘00s and I’m absolutely honoured and completely humbled to have been mentioned in the same breath as so many great bands over the years. So if you’re reading this and had anything to do with giving this band any praise at any point, let me just say thanks. I probably would have been a better artist if I’d been able to relax just for a second back then.

“What can I say, I’m all or nothing, I was like a lightning bolt striking the same place over and over again. The definition of madness, but maybe it brought something.”

He adds: “I really didn’t expect there to ever be another Razorlight album, I did it because it’s good, I wouldn’t make music for any other reason. I think it could be a lot of people’s favourite Razorlight album too.

“But right now, 1% of our fans know it exists. Let’s try and get that to 5%? Oh and fuck you, we still don’t need you to tell us we’re good.”

Listen to Zombie Love below.

Comprising singer Johnny, guitarist Björn Agren, drummer Andy and bassist Carl Dalemo, the LP is the first to feature all four members since 2008’s ‘Slipway Fires’.

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.
