Planet Nowhere is the fifth album by English rock band Razorlight, released on 25 October 2024 through V2 Records. It is the first album for 16 years featuring the band's 'classic' line-up of lead vocalist Johnny Borrell, guitarist Björn Ågren, bassist Carl Dalemo, and drummer Andy Burrows.
Background
[edit]In April 2021, the band announced the return of the original lineup, featuring Borrell and Ågren (who rejoined in 2019) along with Burrows and Dalemo. The newly reunited group announced a livestreamed concert to be held on 2 June 2021.[1] Razorlight released new songs in 2022—a single, "Call Me Junior", and two songs on a best-of compilation, "You Are Entering the Human Heart" and "Violence Forever?",[2][3] but Borrell revealed he thought about ending the band if they hadn't been able to make further new music.[4] In late 2023 the band travelled to Spain for a five-day recording session with producer Youth at his Space Mountain studio in Sierra Nevada mountain range. The final day of the session yielded the opening single "Scared of Nothing". The album was completed during further sessions at Space Mountain in early 2024.[5]
