The Horrors today release “Lotus Eater“, the third track taken from their forthcoming sixth studio album “Night Life”, out March 21st via Fiction Records. “Lotus Eater” has had several past lives and it was one of the first songs from the “Night Life” sessions.
The single is backed by the previously released tracks “Trial By Fire” and “The Silence That Remains”.
The new album will be the band’s first to not feature all 5 original members. As The Horrors approach their 20th anniversary as a band, “Night Life” sees them with 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.
The whole was produced by Yves Rothman (Yves Tumor, Blondshell) before finishing touches were applied back in London along with guitarist Josh Hayward.
