The Horrors let go of the past and start again on new single, "Lotus Eater"
The Horrors have shared "Lotus Eater" as the third track to be taken from their forthcoming sixth studio album, Night Life.
“Lotus Eater has had several past lives. It was one of the first songs from the Night Life sessions that we felt really excited about - Rhys’ original lyric had a feeling that made me think of “5 Years” by David Bowie, and I started to build on the idea," the band explains.
"A lotus eater lives in a state of blissful ignorance, and the song to me describes the moment of coming back to reality. We wanted it to have a feeling of both melancholy and euphoria, letting go of the past and starting again... It feels almost like a sister track to Sea Within a Sea in some ways, and it’s one of our favourite songs on the new album.”
As The Horrors approach their 20th anniversary as a band, Night Life sees them shapeshift 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 5 original members.
Night Life is out on 21 March via Fiction Records, and is available to pre-order now.
