The Horrors is a British band formed in Southend, England, which, over the course of nearly 20 years, has become one of the most innovative and acclaimed acts in alternative rock. After emerging as a garage-goth band on the seminal Strange House (2007) and evolving toward shoegaze and post-punk on Primary Colours (2009), the group has always stood out for its ability to boldly navigate between genres, blending psychedelia, electronica, and rock. Albums such as Skying (2011), winner of an NME Award, and V (2017), cemented their reputation as one of the most original bands on the British scene.

Their most recent work, Night Life (2025), marks a new chapter for the band, with a lineup centered on the duo of Faris Badwan and Rhys Webb, accompanied by Amelia Kidd and Jordan Cook. Recorded between London and Los Angeles with producer Yves Rothman, the album combines weight and space, melancholy and euphoria, reflecting their unique ability to fuse disparate ideas into a cohesive universe. Night Life revives the instinctive and raw spirit of the band’s early work, exploring nocturnal thoughts and atmospheres that expand their musical identity without ever losing the originality that defines them.
