The Horrors are back with a new single on XL called 'Whole New Way'. This tune featured on the Japanese CD of their last smash hit pop album 'Primary Colours' and now you can own it - without having to mortgage your house - on a small shiny black vinyl 7". As I'm getting older I'm sort of not minding The Horrors. I think I'd like them more if they didn't have a massive hype machine plugged into their arse but that's the way things are these days. Hypey.....The vocals on this new tune are a bit gothy and the bassline and drums remind me of The Cure. Actually it's quite an 80's sounding thing but with modern production. I'm not entirely sure about the song itself as it's not doing too much for me but the rhythm section on it is totally mint. It makes me want to squeeze my fat legs into drainpipes and turn purple. Nice.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
