This is The Horrors. They're from London. This past week, they released their third lp Skying off XL Recordings (home of every artist that seems to matter at the moment, including Radiohead, the XX, and Adele).
The once punk-and-goth inspired five piece continue to lighten up(only slightly) with lead single "Still Life."
It's a catchy, synth-filled cut that grows until bam! We got horns!
I've been reading reviews on other sites(the big fancy blogs you've heard of) that their new sound mimics early Simple Minds. Like those kids ever really listened to Simple Minds. Who makes that up? Regardless it's got that era written all over it. Along with M83's "Midnight City" and Washed Out's "Amor Fati" we're sure building the greatest John Hughes movie soundtrack that never was.
The Horrors play Bimbo's 365 Club September 10 in San Francisco.

november.
the front porch. november. oakland. the chill of autumn. ocean blue soaked clouds. lampshades in windows. an american flag in the hood. the blinking red lights on the top of matching buildings. the soft hum of asphalt against rolling cars. the smoke of a girl as i exhale.
a new season.
spring cleaning. a walk in my favorite shirt. brief glimpses of clarity in the light reflecting off passing cars in the crosswalk. a breeze like sweet relief from the warmth of the sun. until a memory wraps itself around like a blanket and I seek the shade of a building we’ve walked under a dozen times. and then it passes and it’s gone, yet never as quickly as it comes.
Includes many of my favorite things - sneakers, new Justice track, skateboarding, killer editing, and Katy Perry.
Well done.
