Afgelopen maand hebben de muzikale excentriekelingen van the Horrors hun derde album, genaamd Skying, uitgebracht. Opvallend aan deze Britste band is de ontwikkeling die zij de afgelopen jaren qua uiterlijk, maar vooral muzikaal zijn doorgegaan.
From garage-punks to national treasures in waiting, The Horrors’ rise is remarkable.
The Horrors know all about deceptive appearances. Their mid-00s emergence saw the music press in a lather, hype peaking with inevitable derision creeping forth from (perhaps rightly) cynical corners of the blogosphere. Garage-punk squall, a look (and sound) that was half-Birthday Party, half-Cramps, undertones of something decidedly goth: while the Southend-spawned band presented a great-looking package, the style-over-substance accusers were many. But the distorted riffs of the band’s 2007 debut Strange House would give way to something else. By blindsiding with an assault designed to divide, the five-piece managed to work away in the shadows on a second LP that reinvented them as psychedelic Krautrock cosmonauts. Primary Colours, said set, couldn’t have been better received. Doubters changed their tunes, and the Mercury Prize panel responded with a nomination. In a year of weak competition, it should have won.
