The Amazons share David Lynch-inspired single ‘Night After Night’ and announce 2025 UK tour

The Amazons have shared a new single called ‘Night After Night’ and announced a 2025 UK headline tour. Listen and find all the details below.

The anthemic song marks the latest preview of the Reading band’s fourth album ’21st Century Fiction’ (out May 9), which will also feature ‘My Blood’ and ‘Love Is A Dog From Hell’.

‘Night After Night’ was given its live debut back in 2023, with The Amazons having performed it numerous times since. Writing on Instagram to announce the studio version last week, the group said: “We know you’ve waited for this one.”

The track finds frontman Matt Thomson in a moment of self-reflection and frustration. It was inspired by The Amazons’ time spent at Jumbo’s Clown Room in Hollywood – an old haunt of David Lynch and Charles Bukowski.

When creating the tune, the group shaped this into a metaphor for the habits and routines that people can get trapped in.

“What interested us were the guys who’d go there all the time, who became part of the furniture, at the bar night after night compelled to be there, unable to break out,” Thomson explained.

“It’s easy to judge, but we all have our habits, some more visible than others. It’s only when we try to hop the fence, that we realise how much of a hold they have over us.”

Additionally, the band have announced a ’21st Century Fiction’ UK tour for this autumn. They’ll take to the stage at London’s Roundhouse, Manchester’s Albert Hall, and head to more cities throughout late October and early November.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST this Friday (April 11) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, fans can access a pre-sale at the same time on Wednesday (9) by signing up here.

During an interview with NME last November, frontman Thomson agreed that The Amazons had “truly backed themselves” on the forthcoming ’21st Century Fiction’. “Backing myself, in 2024 as a 30-year-old man, is to believe in my creative convictions,” he explained.

The vocalist also described previous single ‘Living A Lie‘ as a “turning point” for the band. “The song that came out of that riff really correlated in an intimate and succinct way with how I was actually feeling at the time,” Thomson said.

Elsewhere in the conversation, he looked back on working with Royal Blood on ‘My Blood’, and explained that the choice of album name “was almost a challenge” to the band to be “bold” in their creativity.

“This is the title – let’s create an album that is worthy of the boldness and the provocative nature of the record,” Thomson told NME of the follow-up to 2022’s ‘How Will I Know If Heaven Will Find Me?’.

Next month, The Amazons will perform at Live At Leeds: In The Park – where headliners Bloc Party are set to play their debut album ‘Silent Alarm’ in full to mark its 20th anniversary.
