The Horrors question what matters with their new single ‘More Than Life’

The Horrors release driving new single ‘More Than Life’, inspired by Canary Wharf, ahead of their sixth album ‘Night Life’.

The Horrors have released Bowie-esque new single 'Lotus Eater' ahead of their upcoming sixth album

The Horrors have shared new single ‘More Than Life’, taken from their upcoming sixth album ‘Night Life’.

The track arrives as the fourth single from the record, which is set for release via Fiction Records on 21st March. It follows a series of sold-out UK shows at the end of 2023, including a performance at London’s ICA.

“‘More Than Life’ has a different type of intensity to our recent singles, it’s more driving and direct. It was written in the middle of Canary Wharf, which looks more like Blade Runner every day. It’s such a strange place to do anything creative as the surroundings feel particularly stark,” the band explain.

“We still needed a couple more songs for the album before going to LA to record at Yves’ studio, and we were in that insular part of the process where it feels like the outside world doesn’t exist. The song is basically about the question of what matters to you and by that point we were definitely clear on where we were heading.”

‘Night Life’ marks a new chapter for the group, now operating as a core duo of vocalist Faris Badwan and bassist Rhys Webb, alongside new members Amelia Kidd on keys and Telegram’s Jordan Cook on drums.
