Description
Platinum selling indie-rock heroes Razorlight are set to make a triumphant return with 'Olympus Sleeping', the band's first album in ten years. The record sees lead-singer and songwriter Johnny Borrell in top form, dishing up instant classics like the insanely catchy 'Carry Yourself' or the album's lead single 'Olympus Sleeping'. The new material perfectly showcases the band's melodic nous, fizzing backbeat and frenetic energy, with each new song easily fitting in to the band's extensive catalogue of hit singles.

Formed around singer/guitarist Johnny Borrell, the band's debut album 'Up All Night' debuted at #3, carried era defining hits such as 'Golden Touch' and 'Somewhere Else' and went on to sell over 1.2M copies in the UK. With their self-titled follow-up, Razorlight truly made the leap onto the international stage, with the album providing top-ten singles across the UK and Europe and the band headlining festivals and touring the world. Now the band are back with their explosively exuberant new album, Olympus Sleeping. As Johnny describes it: "I made this record in a spirit of nothing but enjoyment. This album is my very pure love letter to a certain type of music - the music that first inspired so many people to form and follow bands."

Great news, Linda! Always liked this band, and all four of these songs sound great. An immediate purchase for me.

WAN more promo has been produced for the album, in a different vein from the tinted performance videos above. This is for the track "Carry Yourself":

Been listening to this over the weekend, and it's quite fun. Surprisingly solid throughout, especially given the 10-year break between this and "Slipway Fires." Glad to see they are pushing "Carry Yourself"; that might be my favorite track here.
