The Amazons announce new album '21st Century Fiction'

After recently returning with their brilliant comeback single 'Living A Lie', The Amazons have now announced their plans for a new studio album, arriving in the middle of next year.

The new full-length '21st Century Fiction' is being previewed by the lead track 'Pitch Black', and is set to be released on the 9th May.

Speaking about the new record, singer Matt Thomson describes it as “a man in his late 20s, struggling with unrealistic ideals of masculinity and a sense of unfulfilled promise”, surrounded by “a world plagued by chaos”.

The record “comes from the frustration of being in that place where my 20s were ending and being really cognisant of that, that spot where the adolescent dream collapses under self-flagellation; always wondering what’s around the corner, always scolding myself for not matching up to some unattainable ideals of what it means to be a successful band or even just a man.”

Have a listen to 'Pitch Black' in the player and see the album's full tracklisting below.
