Single// The Horrors, I Can See Through You.


It is often claimed that a band’s third album is arguably their greatest masterpiece. For instance; The Smiths’ “The Queen Is Dead,” Blur’s “Parklife” and Iron Maiden’s “Number of The Beast” to name a few. A statement that is certainly not irrelevant to The Horrors’ “Skying.” Disregarding the heavy punk guitars of their debut, plus adding a psychedelic element to the shoegaze of “Primary Colours.”
Taking their new single - “I Can See Through You,” opening with an uncharacteristic euphoria, as shown by the carousel sounding synthesizers, building up and diving into an ultimate crescendo of psychedelic fuzz, delicately introducing Faris Badwan’s husky vocals. Falling nothing short of epic.
Yet another great track from one of Britain’s best current alternative bands, what else did you expect?
