The Horrors are teasing their sixth album ‘Night Life’, set for release via Fiction Records, with new single ‘Ariel’, the opening track from the upcoming record.
The release marks a new chapter for the group, who are now operating as a reformed line-up centred around vocalist Faris Badwan and bassist Rhys Webb, joined by Amelia Kidd on keys and Telegram’s Jordan Cook on drums. This marks the first album without all five original members.
“‘Ariel’ is a particularly special track, and a group favourite,” the band explain. “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’ – due 21st March – features nine tracks, including ‘Silent Sister’, ‘The Silence That Remains’, and ‘LA Runaway’. The record follows their 2021 EPs ‘Lout’ and ‘Against The Blade’.
