Morrissey, like Radiohead's 'Rainbows' in itself refusing to release new album

Morrissey to release his own record label declined despite the increasing desperation of his new album.

The ex-Smiths singer is currently unsigned and is 2009 he said 'Years Of Refusal' until they release a record deal will not be followed.

Similarly, in 2007 with the Radiohead 'In Rainbows' I rule an opportunity to release the record himself.

He told Pitchfork, "I don't have any need to be innovative in that way. I am still stuck in the dream of an album that sells well not because of marketing, but because people like the songs.

"Once it becomes public that you aren't signed, you assume that anyone who wants you will come and get you."

Yet the singer has believes that the reason hasn't been signed because the record labels are more interested in new artists.

He added, "I think labels for the most part want to sign new discoveries so that that label alone is seen to be responsible for the rise of the artist. Not many labels want bands who have already made their mark, because their success is usually attributed to some other label somewhere else at another time."

Morrissey also slammed the music industry's current state and what it said was "destroyed in a thousand ways".

He explained, "The internet has obviously wiped music off the human map – killed the record shop, and killed the patience of labels who consider debut sales of 300,000 to not be good enough".

He added: "There are no risks taken with music anymore – no social commentary songs, no individualism. This is because everyone is deemed instantly replaceable."
