Product Description

CD Description

British indie group The Horrors follow-up 2007's criticallyacclaimed debut 'Strange House' with 'Primary Colours', a record that represents a band striving for musical progression and, in doing so, finding an interesting new direction. While the gothic punk influence of such bands as The Cramps remains, there is now a strong Krautrock flavour to The Horrors' sound, resulting in a well-rounded and engaging listen. Includes the single 'Sea Within A Sea'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A change of direction, 23 April 2009
By L. M. Vaughan "vaughan" (Grimsby, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I must admit, I only liked about four songs on the Horrors debut. This, a very different beast is great from start to finish. It almost feels like the missing link between My bloody valentine and Jesus and the Marychain.

Vocally and musically hardly anything like their noisy debut. Although still not exactly accessible to the masses, it should gain them new fans. A massive change in sound and direction and frankly all the better for it. A brilliant second album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best album of 2009...easily, 8 May 2009
By R. B. Anderson "footielover" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Comparing primary colours to the current same old old, music scene this is af very different contrast and just shows its quality after one listen. You can definitely hear the Cure/Joy Division influences but this shows great maturity from the first album to make the best album of the year. It is very dark majestic sound with ian curtisish vocals over. It is extremely captivating as a album. Not very often can i put an album on from first track to last and enjoy every track as equally as each other. I don't understand the other 3 star 2 star reviewers this is definitely worthy of 5 star. I have had this for around 4 days and already have easily listened over 10 times. This is a must for any music lover. It is one of those few albums which are completely different to the current daytime radio 1 music scene. Please, Buy, Listen and Enjoy this album.

Thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars So much More than Gothy NME Darlings, 12 Nov 2009
I write this review not as a swooning fanboy too ignorant to differentiate good from great, the sort of idiot who heard Mr Brightside and declared it the best song ever simply because he had never heard any better in the Top 40 or on Kiss FM. No I write this as someone who has a record collection including Closer by Joy Division, Abbey Road (and others) by the Beatles, Exile on Mainstreet by The Stones and Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys, i.e. someone who knows their stuff to a degree great enough to be a reasonable judge of quality. This is quality, and it gave me heart when I first heard the glorious synths on Who Can Say, and couldn't hold back a smile when I heard for the first time the krautrock glory that is A Sea Within a Sea because this may be the saving of British music (along with The XX) because, if it isn't something new, it's something old with new life and new ideas breathed into it; a synthy, gothy dream of an album reminiscent of Joy Division and the great alt rock bands of the 80's. Faris Badwan's voice has depth you wouldn't imagine having heard their previous efforts, adding gravitas to songs that could otherwise sound petulant or unremarkable. That's true of the whole album, previously they sounded young, brash and wild in a cliched sort of a way, now they sound like and actual band with ambition and artistic potential beyond their shallow indie rock peers. Watch this space, they may just prove the saving of British Rock and Roll (but they probably won't).

Great shoegaze, but no fear. Who can say is one of the best songs of the year and Sea... is the perfect anti-single.
