On 23 February 2021, the Horrors announced they were releasing a new EP. [6]

Critical reception

Lout was met with "generally favorable reviews" from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 80 based on 6 reviews. [1]

In a review for Beats Per Minute , John Amen wrote: "While Lout offers only a sampling of The Horrors' latest direction, it's one that will hopefully be further developed on a full-length release. Even though there are only three tracks here, and a total of approximately 12 minutes of music, Lout represents some of The Horrors' most expressive, uninhibited, and memorable work." [2] Liam Egan at Clash wrote: "The Horrors have released their heaviest material to date on this unhinged EP. Badwan's vocals are nasty and coarse, with proceedings momentarily taking a slight diversion into the occult as ominous grouped vocals soar over the track - to then be crushed under the mass under Lout's instrumentation." [3] Lisa Wright of DIY said "The Horrors are out, having made their boldest, most exciting switch-flip in years." [4]
