The Horrors

Revealing a fresh facet to The Horrors musical palette without ditching the goth-gloom that has been their calling card from the off, 'Night Life' looms large with all manner of electronics, programmed drums, and fx to boost their black-clad penchant for melancholy pop.

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. Nearly 20 years since they first began, there are few bands who’ve created a canon as determinedly innovative and consistently critically acclaimed as The Horrors. Emerging as zeitgeist-shaking garage-goths on their 2007 debut ‘Strange House’, before taking a shoegaze-nodding sharp left on their Mercury-nominated follow up ‘Primary Colours’, since the beginning they’ve roamed between genres and atmospheres freely. 2011’s ‘Skying’ won the NME Award for Best Album; ‘V’ was heralded as “a triumph” in a five-star Guardian review, while 2021’s pair of EPs - ‘Lout’ and ‘Against The Blade’ - marked a visceral new chapter with 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
