The Amazons present: ’21st Century Fiction’
The Amazons announce new album ’21st Century Fiction’, due out on 09 May 2025.
The full-length will be the follow-up to the Reading band’s Top 5 record, 2022s ‘How Will I Know If Heaven Will Find Me?’.
’21st Century Fiction’ is the sound of “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”. This is the time to take stock and captain your own ship.
The record “comes from the frustration of being in that place where my 20s were ending and being really cognisant of that,” says frontman Matt 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.”
The new album signals the arrival of a bold new sound for the band – still loaded with riffs and roaring with aggression, but packed with a whole new level of introspection, energy and grandiose. With three huge Top 10 records and sold out shows across the globe under their belts, The Amazons are charging into the future, fuelled up and ready for what’s next.
