The Horrors - Skying
21:19
So the Horrors are #5 that I haven't seen live, although they played in Lisbon last year. I was really sad, as your might imagine, but I love them anyway.
"Skying" is their third record and my favourite. I honestly can't understand people who either don't like the Horrors, or never heard of them. I just can't seem to understand how / why. I mean, how can someone not like those krauty melodies and Faris' voice and please if you have never heard them I beg you, I'm down on my knees begging you to listen to them please, because you're probably missing out on the band of your life.
Moving on,"Skying" is a masterpiece. Either it's Faris Badwan's (singer) voice, Tom Furse's synths, Joe Spurgeon's drums, Rhys Webb's basslines or the pedal / modular synth or whatever that Joshua (Hayward) built for his guitar, everything just comes together as if it were a puzzle ( but those puzzle that fit and actually look pretty, ya know ) ( and also the easy ones, not over 5000 pieces, or I'll just go beserk ). Damn, I was rambling. Okok, my absolute favourite track of this record must be "Still Life", not only because of that collboration with Florence Welch onstage at the 2012 NME Awards, but mostly because I really like the lyrics and the instumental. The soft guitar line which introduces us to the song, leading us to the drums and everything coming together and creating this perfect song, I can't really explain, you should really listen to the song. And to every other song. Listen to them, please.
