iTunes Review

The Horrors pretty much exemplify the evolution of goth in the new millennium. Though the goth tag may retain its grip due only to Faris Badwan’s evocative voice — which actually sounds like a cave, if caves could sing — it’s hard to imagine the band’s ancestral influences (the Cramps, Joy Division, Birthday Party, etc.) fading away completely. Toning down the noisier, punkier elements of their debut Strange House, Primary Colours is a surprisingly ... lovely record: “I Only Think of You” has the gravitas of Stephin Merritt (of Magnetic Fields) at his most melancholy; the Krautrock-kissed “Sea Within a Sea” is atmospheric and lulling; the shoegaze storm underlying “Mirror’s Image” and the Joe Meek influenced “Who Can Say” is warmly familiar and hypnotic. The lush orchestration and Badwan’s vocals on “Three Decades” recalls the Psychedelic Furs, while “New Ice Age” feels like a PiL/Sonic Youth mash-up. These Brit boys boldly embrace the past — all the while writing good songs, an important point here — and their future looks bright.

Customer Reviews

This is a masterpiece!

This album, in my opinion, was one of the best of 2009.

A great album - but disappointing about Mirror's Image.

An excellent album on the whole, but I was dismayed to discover that Mirror's Image - in my opinion, the best song on the album - has been cut down from 4:51 to 1:04. This is outrageous! We are only left with the introduction section of the song! How would I complain to Apple about this?

THOROUGHLY INSPIRING

I am proud of these men. I think it's staggering how these artists have developed - I've never seen such a comeback in my life. I can honestly say every single track in this album is stunning. Though you must without fail listen to the nostalgic 'Primary Colours', 'Scarlet Fields' (incredible introduction) and 'Mirror's Image'.

Biography

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '00s

Hailing from Cedar Rapids, IA, this bass-less trio produces punked out garage rock drenched in reverb and distortion. Much like Doo Rag and the Gories, but with a greater rockabilly influence....
