With their latest album, "Slipaway Fires", Razorlight continue to polish up their act and search for an identity. Their recent facade suggests a cross between Crowded House and The Boomtown Rats yet, on "Burberry Blue Eyes", they provide sequel the story started by Pulp's "Common People".
With all the UK tabloid chatter about leader Johnny Borrell's exploits, it could easily be taken as a musical self-portrait but, to my ears, it has a hint of sour grapes to it. As an ex-Libertine himself, maybe he's lamenting his inability to gather his own Moss.
