Cover Feature In and out of sight: The Horrors
Always on the up, never looking back - this is the only way The Horrors know how to exist.
Once manic, precocious kids looking for a cause, The Horrors have since settled into a rhythm. By their standards, at least. Whereas once they were regarded as a bunch of chancers, today it’s simply presumed that they’ll churn out triumphant records on demand. Fourth album ‘Luminous’ gives credence to the belief that this is a band who don’t have a bad album in their locker. Missteps aren’t an option. Call them experts at this sort of thing, though, and they’ll simply shrug it off.
