The Horrors will release their new album Night Life later this month. The release is supported by a run of in-store dates including Manchester’s Piccadilly@Night and Day. They will also appear at Liverpool’s Rough Trade.
The album will feature The Horrors’ latest single Ariel, the brooding opening track of the album.
Speaking about the single, the band explained, “Ariel is a particularly special track, and a group favourite. It’s probably unlike any song we’ve written before, and kind of marks the beginning of a new chapter. We are always looking to explore new sonic territories and find new ways for the band to sound, it’s probably what we enjoy most about being in The Horrors. Ariel was very much a studio creation – we put a distortion-heavy demo down at home and started moulding it into something more subtle at Holy Mountain with Yves. Amelia then added her world of chopped-up rhythms and vocal splices and it felt like we’d reached a new place. The Horrors of the future.”
Night Life lands as The Horrors approach their 20th anniversary as a band. It promises a new sonic outlook with a new line-up centre around vocalist Faris Badwan and bassist Rhys Webb. They are joined by Amelia Kidd on keys and Telegram’s Jordan Cook on drums. It is expected to deliver an album filled with melancholy and euphoria, weight and space, bringing in contract and conflicting elements.
The Horrors release Night Life on 21 March 2025.
