Razorlight share new song Zombie Love and confess new album was unexpected

Razorlight’s Johnny Borrell has admitted he doubted the band would release another album.

The ‘America’ group recently announced ‘Planet Nowhere’, the first full-length record by the group’s classic line-up – Johnny, guitarist Bjorn Agren, drummer Andy Burrows and bassist Carl Dalem – since 2008.

And upon the release of their latest single, ‘Zombie Love’, he confessed he didn’t anticipate recording a follow-up to 2008’s ‘Slipway Fires’.

He says the song – which follows the recent singles ‘Scared of Nothing’ and ‘Empire Service’ – is inspired by Outkast, Beck and The Pixies, and quipped that fans can “sue” him if it doesn’t sound remotely like the three acts.

He said of the track: “’Zombie Love’ was the first thing that Andy 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.”

The 44-year-old rocker insists he doesn’t need anyone else to tell him their music is “good”.

He added: “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 per cent of our fans know it exists. Let’s try and get that to 5 per cent? Oh and f*** you, we still don’t need you to tell us we’re good.”

‘Planet Nowhere’ is released on October 25.
