The Zombies have released a second track, “Love You While I Can,” from their upcoming studio album, “Different Game”. The LP arrives March. 31st, 2023, via U.K. indie label Cooking Vinyl Records. In support of the release, and a forthcoming feature documentary, the band will resume their “Life Is A Merry-Go-Round” Tour in 2023 with appearances at Austin’s famed music and film festival, SXSW, as well as concerts in the U.S., followed by a full U.K. run in the Spring. More extensive touring is planned throughout the year.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers began work on the album after their 2019 induction and a U.S. tour with Brian Wilson. The Zombies are founding keyboardist Rod Argent and lead singer Colin Blunstone, along with drummer Steve Rodford, guitarist Tom Toomey and bassist Søren Koch. As primary songwriter and producer Rod Argent notes, “Making this album has been a joy from start to finish. Post-lockdown, we were absolutely determined to come together and record in as ‘live’ a way as we could – to capture the magical, fleeting quality of energy and immediacy of performance.”
“Different Game” is produced by Argent together with the band’s longtime live audio engineer Dale Hanson.
The album, their first since 2015, is being released in advance of a new feature documentary entitled “Hung Up On a Dream”, directed by musician and filmmaker Robert Schwartzman, and co-produced by Schwartzman’s Utopia Films, The Ranch Productions, and Tom Hanks’ Playtone, slated for release later in 2023.
