From Loudersound.
60s psych rockers The Zombies have released a video for their brand new single Dropped, Reeling & Stupid, which you can watch in full below.
The new single is the first music to be take from the band’s upcoming album Different Game, which the band will release through Cooking Vinyl Records on March 31. it’s the band’s first new studio album since 2015’s Still Got That Hunger.
“Making this album has been a joy from start to finish,” exclaims keyboard player Rod Argent. “Post-lockdown, we were absolutely determined to come together and record in as “live” a way as we could – to capture that magical, fleeting quality of energy and immediacy of performance… Dropped Reeling & Stupid is our first streamed release. Can’t wait for you to hear it!”
The band began work on the album after their 2019 induction into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a USA tour with Beach Boys auteur Brian Wilson. The band, which features founding keyboardist Rod Argent and lead singer Colin Blunstone, along with drummer Steve Rodford, guitarist Tom Toomey and bassist Søren Koch, hoped to finish writing and recording but were derailed by the pandemic. “The band was not content to record remotely,” adds Argent.
The album cover features a photo taken by Rod Argent during a touring misadventure in the Arizona desert this past Summer.
“We were traveling from Southern California to Tucson, when our tour van’s engine suddenly caught fire,” explains Blunstone. “We spent about five hours stranded in the remote Arizona desert, but thanks to our intrepid team and crew, we were rescued and made it to our next show! It was a harrowing experience, but also beautiful and surreal.”
