Tonight marks the final show of The Horrors’ UK mini-tour, promoting the upcoming new album; Skying, on their first London headline show in over a year. As front man Faris Badwan states: “It’s good to be back,” midway through tonight’s short set.
Iconically slinking onto the stage at 9:15 PM the band used tonight’s gig primarily to showcase new material such as new single ‘Still Life’ boasting an orchestraic melancholia, yet still leaving room to incorporate noir neo-classics such as the devastatingly post-romantic ‘Who Can Say?’ and the epic "Sea Within A Sea’ with it’s monstrous bass driven breakdown.
If tonight’s performance is anything to go by, their debut album set for release on July 11th is well worth a listen to and The Horrors should definitely be caught live as the embark on their full scale, October, UK tour.
