Very close to their 20th anniversary, The Horrors have come out with a new album, ‘Night Life’, in great shape, with a new sonic perspective and a new line-up centred around vocalist Faris Badwan and bassist Rhys Webb, who are now joined by Amelia Kidd on keys and Jordan Cook from Telegram on drums.

The new album presents itself as a record of weight, melancholy and euphoria; a record that has the ability to unite such disparate ideas as only The Horrors can. Night Life is not about the nightlife of pubs and clubs. It’s about the thoughts that happen under the cover of darkness; the places our minds take us when the rest of the world is asleep. It’s a disc that was born out of a desire to revive the raw, instinctive spirit of the band’s early work.
