Press statement: Their most industrial, uncompromising output yet. Whilst the end results have changed, however, at their core has always been the same unbending commitment and bloody-minded allegiance to the cause. The Horrors are not and will never be a band that approach the job lightly. They’re musicians who’ll funnel everything they are into the process, at the expense of health, wealth and sometimes sanity. And so, whilst sixth album Night Life sees the band once more shapeshift into a new form, with a new sonic outlook and – this time – a new line up, in some ways The Horrors are still as they ever were.”
Lead single THE SILENCE THAT REMAINS floats sonically, somewhere between
Joy Division (could be Peter Hook on bass) and early Editors. The song is about a 3am insomnia walk through the city, retracing your steps and putting the past to bed.
It swells in vehemence every time when the other-worldly synth-layered chorus
lights up. Faris Badwan still sings as he’s in a twilight zone of his own. The new
keyboardist Amelia Kidd assist him on vocals now and then. Welcome back (can’t
wait to see you live again).
