The Horrors - Still Life

The Horrors are a band whose influences are profoundly obvious upon listening to their music, and with their third record ‘Skying‘ this is no exception – although this time around their influences are only subtly hinted at.

I loved the direction of 'Primary Colours' but knew that their sound had to change once again, and have to admit being really excited in my anticipation.

One thing is clear, this was a late 70's, early 80's influenced record. At times i cant help but picture Psychadelic Furs, Simple Minds, a myriad of post punk influences, that manifest and dissipate as clandestinely and effortlessly as they rode in.

Can't wait to give it another listen!
