The Horrors

Skying

XL Recordings

The Horrors combine the pretty, somewhat gloomy atmosphere of 80s era Church with the drive, and the drolly romantic languor of early Psychedelic Furs. It's a wonderful updating of both bands, and a worthy follow-up to their 2009 Mercury Prize nominated Primary Colours. [www.thehorrors.co.uk]
