The Horrors have released a fifth early single from their upcoming album.
Dark and atmospheric, the electronic-laden Ariel serves as the opening track on 'Night Life', and follows the previously shared cuts from the record; More Than Life, Lotus Eater, Trial By Fire and The Silence That Remains. Introducing the new song, the band commented:
"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."
The follow-up to 2017's 'V' will arrive on March 21 via Fiction Records. Around its release, the four-piece will play a series of UK in-store dates, before shows in Spain and Portugal in April. Head here for details. They'll also headline Dot To Dot Festival in Bristol and Nottingham in May. Tickets are on sale now.
