The Horrors are back with their fifth studio album V due for release September 22. They’ve also released the first single off the album, Machine, which is accompanied by a computer generated video by CGI pioneer Jon Emmony. Check it out below.
Discussing the album, lead vocalist Faris Badwan said, “It is a risk, but life isn’t much fun without risk. It’s the antithesis of being creative if you know what you’re going to be doing every time.”
The album was recorded in London and produced by powerhouse Paul Epworth who has artists like Bloc Party, Lorde, Adele, FKA Twigs and Paul McCartney on his extensive resume.
Looking back on the band’s roots, bassist Rhys Webb said, “When we started we had a very clear idea of what we wanted to do, which was to make as furious a noise as possible, a fast and violent racket. But even though we started with this punky garage sound there was always this real spirit of wanting to experiment and explore.”
Machine is out now. V is released on September 22.
