Borrell recently spoke to NME about the impetus for making a full-length record, explaining that he would have considered ending the band if they hadn’t been able to make it.
“I said to everyone: ‘If new music doesn’t work, let’s move on.’ I was ready to ceremonially say goodbye to Razorlight,” he said. “It would have been a major deal. I was contemplating all kinds of ways to end it, some involving Japanese swords. But this album wanted to be made.”
Borrell also reflected on the band’s breakthrough years in the mid-’00s: “We were all aware something bananas was happening. You can’t be that much in demand and not think: ‘This isn’t totally normal.’
“The time since gave me a lot of time to reflect and think: ‘Yeah, that really, really wasn’t normal. It was amazing.’ And at the top of that list is the way it feels when Razorlight plays together. When we lift off, it’s something I haven’t felt anywhere else.”
