When The Horrors spoke of recording sessions with Paul Epworth back in 2015 it looked like a swift follow-up to Luminous was on the cards.
“We’re actually working on a new album at the moment. So we’re not really having any downtime,” bass player Rhys Webb said at the time. “We’re writing and recording. Hoping to release a new record this year.”
“We wanted to get back in there and get writing. We had a really busy year of touring, so we were ready to get working on new stuff. It’s just because time flies, and it moves so quickly and before you know it, it will be a couple of years between releases.”
It’s taken until now though for some music to emerge, in the form of new single Machine which was premiered on Lauren Laverne’s BBC 6Music show in the UK today.
They’ve also announced a show at London’s Omeara on July 11th.
