The Horrors release new track Lotus eater

The Horrors release ‘Lotus Eater’, the third track to be taken from their forthcoming sixth studio album ‘Night Life’, out March 21st via Fiction Records. The band are currently in the middle of a run of sold-out UK dates including a stellar show at London’s ICA last week. Final dates listed below.

“Lotus Eater has had several past lives.” explain the band; “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.

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.

The spoken word section was improvised in the studio, and the mid-section of chopped-up electronics came from Amelia’s world of synth programming. 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.”
