We’re absolutely honoured to say that The Horrors will be coming to the Albert Hall on Saturday 22nd September. The band, whose fourth album ‘Luminous’ recently hit the shelves, have risen from their humble goth-punk beginnings to become one of the biggest acts in Britain right now. Come see their experimental psych-gaze sounds causing a cacophony of raucousness in our venue.
The Horrors first gained cult status because of their untamed live shows, getting noticed on the circuit quickly after forming in the summer of ’05. Back then the big-haired, black-clad group had anarchic tunes and a similarly chaotic stage-presence. Debut album ‘Strange House’ led to a world tour and follow up ‘Primary Colours’ elevated their stature even further by incorporating post-punk, shoegaze, and synthesized mayhem into the gothic template. Working with Portishead’s Geoff Barrow and Chris Cunningham, the record was a runaway success – NME’s album of the year, plus 5/5 reviews in Q, and The Guardian.
They’ve since continued to expand their sound in every way possible, innovating and never staying still. ‘Skying’ saw this exploration add elements of ethereal psychedelia to the mix, and new album ‘Luminous’ sees another triumphant return to the musical landscape. Already they’ve announce a string of festival dates, plus shows in US and a sell-out album launch show. This will undoubtedly be an unforgettable return.
