NEW MUSIC: Razorlight - Zombie Love (Official Audio Track)

It follows the release of recent tracks Empire Service and Scared of Nothing, which sees the band draw on influences from the post punk and new wave era.

Listen to Scared of Nothing, their first take from the record, below:

According to a press release, Scared of Nothing unlocked Razorlight’s creativity and prompted the band to return to Spain to work on songs for the upcoming record, which features titles such as U Can Call Me, Dirty Luck, Cool People and Taylor Swift = US Soft Propaganda.

Previously speaking to The Chris Moyles Show about the album, frontman Johnny Borrell admitted:"I really didn’t think we’d do another one".

However, he added that the band took to Spain to write new music and vowed to "pack it in" if if they didn't make something they were proud of.

"We got back together," added the Rip It Up singer. "We had to do this Greatest Hits – we had this contractual obligation, which I really hated doing – and you know, I said to the guys, ‘Let’s go to Spain, let’s go and record with (producer and musician) Youth.’

"Youth just seemed to get the band in a very uncomplicated way, and I was like, ‘Let’s see if we get something good' and we went out there, and it was sort of like a movie. On the last day, we just kind of found something. But I said to the guys before we went out, ‘If we don’t find something, if we don’t end up something that we really love and we want to do so we are moving forward as a band and making new music, we’ve just got to pack it in. Because you can’t just, sort of, be your own tribute act, you know, to be mean. And that’s what we did."
