Primary Colours

The Horrors - Who Can Say from IM // UR on Vimeo.

What a joy it was to have received the new Horrors album a little early so I can tell you all how ace it is. Primary Colours out next Monday (4th) is an overwhelming step up from the London lads. It starts off with Mirror's Image lulling you in with some soft synth to build through big low slung bass to a darkly uplifting finish. The album then takes you to the depths of some gothic post punk with chillingly beautiful organs. All produced to echoey perfection with the aid of Geoff Barrow (of Portishead). This is definately an album to fill anyones hole who says that second albums are difficult. Inspiring stuff. Who Can Say is the next single release.

Horribly good

Just heard The Horrors new single which I can't stop listening to! It's so so good. Their sound has changed a bit from what I can remember of their stuff a couple of years ago. This song is an epic proggy blend of Joy Division and dare I say Echo And The Bunny Men. It spirals from bleak to uplifting. Truely amazing song. The video is cool too. I can't wait until the release of the new album 'Primary Colours' which is out on May 4. They're playing a few dates in and around, so be sure to get yourself down to see their hair.
