Today marks the exciting return of Reading's The Amazons as they unveil details of their forthcoming new album entitled '21st Century Fiction'. Unveiling Pitch Black, the record's latest single, we get an exciting taste of what's to come through empowered vocals and charged-up percussion as it sets alight its backdrop of anthemic guitar swinging melodies. With the LP described as "their darkest and most heartfelt record to date" fans are in for a treat as they begin paving the way towards its release on May 9th, 2025. The record “comes from the frustration of being in that place where my 20s were ending and being really cognisant of that,” says Thomson, of 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.” Take a listen to Pitch Black for yourselves below.
