Skying

The Horrors make their eagerly awaited return with the release of a new album on XL Recordings on the 11th of July 2011.
 
A first taste of the new record has been made available here:
 
‘Skying’, self-produced and recorded in The Horrors’ own self built studio in London’s Dalston, was mixed by Grammy Award winner Craig Silvey. It features ten brand new tracks and includes the forthcoming single ‘Still Life’, also released on 11th of July. ‘Skying’ is the band’s third long player, and follows 2009’s Mercury Prize nominated ‘Primary Colours’ and their debut  ‘Strange House’ which was released in 2007.
 
The Horrors line up of Faris Badwan – Vocals, Tom Furse – Keys, Joshua Third - Guitar, Rhys Webb – Bass / Keys and Coffin Joe – Drums will unveil a selection of new tracks when they play three live dates in June, their first UK shows of 2011. They play Glasgow on the 15th of June, Manchester the following night and then a London show at York Hall in Bethnal Green on the 17th of June. All shows have sold out.
 
The band will also play festival shows in June at the Eden Project on the 23rd with Primal Scream and Glastonbury on the 25th of the month. More dates will be announced soon and there is high expectation The Horrors will return to New Zealand in the coming months.
