Razorlight chat to I Like Music

The first album was really weird and split up, we recorded half of it first, and then recorded it again, and then again over nine months on and off. But I think this is how albums should be recorded really, to be just there every day recording music.

ILM: And you've had such huge success with Up All Night going double platinum, soon to be triple platinum. As well as being a kind of musical mechanic by taking things apart, seeing how they work and putting them back together, you write shed loads, amazing lyrics and brilliant story-telling. So, can you describe the Razorlight process of making frankly fucking awesome music please?

Carl: Johnny writes songs the whole time, and we're all being quite creative. But what we did with this album, when we finished all the touring last summer, we had a month off or something and then we just spent the rest of the year, the last three months, in the rehearsal studio and that's where we basically wrote the album. If someone wrote anything they brought it in and we started playing it together and sort of made a Razorlight song out of it. It was sort of like our job then, five days a week we just went there everyday and tried to write good songs. So in that sense we were very well prepared when we actually went in to record the album, because we knew more or less how to play all the songs which made the recording process much easier.
