The Zombies new music
On March 31, The Zombies dropped “Different Game.”
This is no quick cash grab though.
“One thing we tried to do on the new album is not do what some vintage bands do and that is sort of scale back the energy,” said lead singer Rod Argent in an interview with Rock Cellar.
“We’ve got several lovely ballads on the album, but they’re in the context also of three or four real groove tracks out of the ten tracks. And we thought that sort of excitement and muscle to a certain degree was really important as well, because it’s a way of capturing energy.”
He added, “The initial music industry reaction from America is absolutely terrific, with several people saying they think it’s the best thing we’ve done since ‘Odessey and Oracle,’ which is high praise indeed.”
