Artist News Gigs & Festivals Releases
Razorlight release four (FOUR) new singles
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 29 August 2018
Razorlight are back. Or at least Johnny Borrell and some people he knows have resurrected the Razorlight name. Who is to say what is or is not a Razorlight? They’re certainly saying they’re Razorlight. And that they’re releasing a new Razorlight album later this year. Is there a new Razorlight single out though? No. There are four of the fuckers.
New album ‘Olympus Seething’ will be the first Razorlight album for ten whole years; a fallow period only lightly troubled by Borrell’s debut solo album and that hat.
Making up the rest of the current line-up for the record are guitarist David Ellis and Pretenders drummer Martin Chambers – although on tour Borrell and Ellis will be joined by another drummer, David Sullivan Kaplan (a member of the group since pre-hat days), and bassist João Mello.
Borrell released an “amazing” new solo single earlier this year, but he’s keen to show that he can still turn in a half decent Razorlight track too, hence putting out four singles all at once.
“We’ve been away for a long time and wanted to give more to the fans than just one single”, he says. “I’m really excited about the album and really excited about doing Razorlight again”.
So, ‘Olympus Seething’ is out on 26 Oct, and you can listen to the title track, plus ‘Got To Let The Good Times Back Into Your Life’, ‘Japanrock’ and ‘Sorry?’ now. If that’s not enough, there’s an album trailer too.
I mentioned a tour somewhere back there too. That’s another thing that’s happening. Don’t sit there thinking there won’t be a tour, because there will. Why do you keep thinking lies? Look, here are the dates:
