The Zombies began work on the forthcoming album, titled "Different Game", after their 2019 induction into The Rock And 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 the follow up to their charting 2015 album "Still Got That Hunger" during a busy 2020 touring schedule, but covid 19 had other plans for them.

Despite the pandemic, The Zombies made the past 3 years productive, finishing the album, and giving fans previews of their new songs with a live streamed concert from Abbey Road Studios London in 2021, and 65 concerts across North America and Europe in 2022.

As primary songwriter and producer Rod Argent relates, “the band was not content to record remotely. 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 that magical, fleeting quality of energy and immediacy of performance. 'Dropped Reeling & Stupid' is our 1st streamed single release. Can’t wait for you to hear it”.
