The single’s release comes ahead of the band’s release of their new album ‘Night Life’ on the 21st March.
The Horrors have released new single ‘Ariel’, which is the opening single from their upcoming new album ‘Night Life’ which is set to be released next month.
In addition, the band have also announced a run of UK instore dates including Rough Trade East on album release day, ahead of a string of Spain and Portugal live shows.
Talking about the single, The Horrors said: “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. “
As the band approach their 20th anniversary, the new album will see them transform into a new form, with a new sonic outlook and a new line up centred around the core duo of vocalist Faris Badwan and bassist Rhys Webb, now joined by Amelia Kidd on keys and Telegram’s Jordan Cook on drums, making the new album the band’s first to not feature all five original members.
