The Horrors

The Horrors were the darlings of the alternative music press almost from the day they formed back in 2005, thanks to a standout, ghoul-like image and a much-hyped “spooky” rock sound referred to as ‘horror punk’. ‘Strange House’ was one of the most hotly anticipated debuts of 2007, and was produced by Ben Hillier in The Pool in December ’06.

With the media spotlight rarely ceasing to simmer down since the release of ‘Strange House’, they finally released their second LP ‘Primary Colours’ in 2009 to widespread acclaim. It was then followed up by the awesome ‘Skying’, which the band worked with producer Craig Silvey on in The Garden Studios in Shoredtich.

In September 2017, the band returned with their fifth studio album, the aptly titled V, which was recorded at The Church Studios and produced by Paul Epworth.

The Horrors - 'Luminous'

Released 2nd May 2014

Following on from 2011's Skying, Luminous is the band's fourth studio album and was described by The Horrors themselves as 'fun and danceable'. Many of the tracks on Luminous are considerably lengthy, creating a shoegazey, dream-like state in which synths take centre stage and influences from the golden era of British music from the 70's to 90's are extensive. It's buzzing, ethereal and psychedelic. It moves and twists in all directions, luring you in, building you up and then shifting somewhe…

The Horrors - 'I See You'

Released 24th February 2014

I See You is the first single to be taken from The Horrors' forthcoming album, Luminous, which is due out in May through XL Recordings and is the follow up to 2011's award-winning Skying. At over seven minutes long, I See You is an upbeat, dreamy Pop song with Indie sensibilities and serene synths. On its release, the single was aired on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 Show as his 'Hottest Record of The Week'. After the final sung chorus at around 3minutes 45, the rest of the track turns completely in…

The Horrors - 'Skying'

Released 11th July 2011

The Horrors story enters its next phase with the release of Skying on XL Records. Southend's psychedelic flag flyers' third album follows the critically acclaimed Primary Colours and with lead single 'Still Life' already gaining plaudits from the tastemakers, we're odds on for another triumph. Skying was partly tracked and mixed in The Garden by Craig Silvey.…

The Horrors - 'Strange House'

Released 5th March 2007

It's been well worth the wait for the release of the debut album 'Strange House' from London's garage punk extraordinaires. Their hugely exposed appearance has built up a hype no-one could ignore, and now the image has proven to compliment their similarly individual sound of gothic punk rock. Ghostly they may appear, but you shouldn't really be afraid of them, that is unless you are planning on selling the most albums in the UK this year! The Horrors were in The Pool with producer Ben Hillier an…
