Speaking in a recent interview with NME, the band revealed the inspiration behind a number of tracks from the new album.

Frontman Faris Badwan, meanwhile, said opening track ‘Chasing Shadows’ had been made like a techno track, while ‘First Day Of Spring’ was described by Josh Hayward as a “fast-moving train that has no intention of stopping” and is, according to fellow member Tom Cowan, one of “the least electronic tracks on the album”.

The five-piece will play an album launch show in London at the 100 Club on May 10. Tickets are on sale now.

The Horrors are yet to announce a full UK tour in support of the release, however in addition to their 100 Club show, the band will play a number of festivals throughout the country including Field Day in London (June 8), Isle of Wight (June 13-15) and Reading and Leeds (August 22-24).
