When
The Horrors arrived in the mid-00s, youâd be hard-pressed to predict the sonic trajectory the Southend-on-Sea outfit would go on. From the goth garage punk of their debut âStrange Houseâ, to the euphoric floor-filler of âVâs âSomething To Remember Me Byâ, The Horrors have dabbled in shoegaze, cosmic synth-rock, neo-psych and krautrock across their discography.
For some bands, this may come at a detriment to their identity and almost become a gimmick. However for The Horrors, every release feels natural. This in part comes from the alluring presence of Faris Badwan, who over the years has become one the most enigmatic frontmen around. Coupled with the band's instrumental wizardry, especially guitarist Joshua Hayward, The Horrorsâ genre explorations feel authentic and earned.
