Indie rock legends RAZORLIGHT have announced details on their upcoming fifth studio album ‘Planet Nowhere’.

The new record marks the bands first release under the classic line-up since 2008’s ‘Slipway Fires’ which peaked at #4 in the UK album charts.

‘Planet Nowhere’ is scheduled for release 25th October 2024 via V2. Pre-order HERE.

The first single from the album titled ‘Scared of Nothing’ is available across digital streaming platforms HERE.

In a press release, frontman Johnny Burrell goes in to detail on how the album was created.

“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.”

The track listing for ‘Planet Nowhere’ can be found below.
