Today – Friday 21st March – The Horrors release their magnificent sixth studio album, Night Life, out now via Fiction Records. Alongside the album release is the release of a new single and visualiser, ‘LA Runaway’, which is available to watch below.
As The Horrors approach their 20th anniversary as a band, Night Lifesees them shapeshift into a new form, with a new sonic outlook and a new line up centred around the core duo of vocalist Faris Badwan and bassist Rhys Webb, now joined by Amelia Kidd on keys and Telegram’s Jordan Cook on drums, making the new album the band’s first to not feature all 5 original members.
Night Life is a record of weight and space, of melancholy and euphoria; a record that has the ability to make bedfellows of seemingly disparate ideas as only The Horrors can. The ‘Night Life’ here is not the vim and vigour of pubs and clubs. It’s the thoughts that happen under the cover of darkness; the places your mind takes you when the rest of the world is asleep. A record born out of a desire to revive the raw, instinctive spirit of the band’s early work.
