The Horrors - Skying mp3 download

Recorded at Offerclass, London in October 2010 - March 2011 and Miloco The Garden, London in April 2011.

Skying is the work of a band that's living up to the hype, just after the fact. And considering the trajectory that Skying shows they're on, maybe the Horrors won't just ultimately match the expectations of them, but maybe top them.

When this sort of thing is done badly – the name The Big Pink springs to mind – the results are beyond appalling. But, as the lead track Still Life proved, The Horrors are – if you’ll pardon the cheap gag about their privileged upbringings - of an altogether higher class. We’ll tell you what’s true.

Skying', on the other hand, as brilliant as it is, is everything that everybody was expecting. It’s a logical evolution from 'Primary Colours' taking the synthetics and distorted production to the next level. That said, if there is one criticism to be found on 'Skying', it may well be the production. Although I’m sure it is intentionally distorted and hazy, it can become a bit blurred. I Can See Through You’ being a case in point, it isn’t bad, but at the same time it won’t be what some want. The album becomes overly lo-fi at points  . The album is brought to a close by the brilliant double bill of 'Monica Gems' and 'Ocean’s Burning'. The former harking back to some of the clatter created on 'Strange House'. It’s totally off centre in the verses and drivingly regimental in the choruses. While the latter is the most subdued The Horrors have ever sounded, yet possibly the most brilliant The Horrors have ever sounded (almost like The Beatles at the height of their drug laced psychedelica). It’s also the best Faris sounds on the album
