The Horrors Return

0 Comments

Yes The Horrors are back once more and are no longer even remotely goth.

New album ‘Skying’ is out through XL Recordings on the 11th of July, but fans of the band have been kept at ease with the release of single ‘Still life’ earlier this week.

The bands debut in 2007 marked a strange resurgence of ‘goth’ culture from these arty creeps, however in 2009 their Mercury Music Prize winning album ‘Primary Colours’ showed them going into more experimental territories of Brit-rock past, now they appear to have regressed even further into an 80’s haze. Some will love it, others will hate it, but there’s no denying The Horrors are back and sticking to their guns.

You can check out the single ‘Still Life’ on Youtube or below.

Newsgush: Speech Debelle Wins Mercury Prize

1 Comments

So the prize goes to…an artist no one has really heard of.

In all honesty Speech Debelle’s music isn’t bad – to my distinctly un – urban ears it soundsĀ  what I’ve heard sounds like early hip – hop crossed with a bit of jazz. It isn’t horrible, paint by numbers indie or unlistenable experimaental dross, which is nice.
