The Amazons announce ‘dark’ fourth album and drop new single

Following September’s comeback single Living A Lie, The Amazons have just dropped another track – and announced their fourth album.

The quartet will be releasing new LP 21st Century Fiction in full on May 9, 2025, with another preview in the form of Pitch Black out today (listen below).

The album is teased as The Amazons’ ‘darkest and most heartfelt’ so far, with its lyrics and message coming from “the frustration of being in that place where my 20s were ending and being really cognisant of that,” according to frontman Matt Thomson.

Produced at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios and Chapel Lane Studios, the record features the production work of Royal Blood, Catherine Marks and Pete Hutchings, and according to a press release it ‘signals the emergence of The Amazons’ bold new sound – still loaded with riffs and roaring with aggression, but packed with a whole new level of introspection, energy and grandiose’.
