Release date: 5th of May, 2009

5/5
Label: XL
Length: 45:40
And i thought i would not come back to them after the first album which i most definitely over listened, and made The Horrors band nr. one in my last.fm charts for quite a while. Even though Chriss Cunnigham does NOT work with losers; he always chooses promissing bands and makes masterpieces, so MTV cannot show them,so i thought they are a bit too young for me, and their garage spirit will die soon.
The blurred cover of the new album says nothing but the boring expectation.
And all this is wrong, because they have changed the style, the young guys turned into adults, keeping their tight trousers to themselves. Now The Horrors remind me of My Bloody Valentine mixed with Joy Division. The gothic dark spirit is still there, but the punk is gone forever, punk's dead.
If you never loved them, you will now. And if you already did? Well, you’ll love them even more...NME --------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Horrors live review:Well, the answer is all of the above and much, much more besides. Whatever you think, or thought, about The Horrors, get ready to change your mind. The ambush release of the eight-minute krautgaze thrum of ‘Sea Within A Sea’ was the sort of disorientating shock we didn’t think bands could pull off any more in these days of leaks, rumours and over-exposure. Like an irritating younger sibling who without warning morphs overnight into a really cool person that you actually want to hang out with, they’re suddenly a totally different band.NME
Recommended tracks: Sea within a sea, Mirror's image, Who can say.
