The Horrors have returned to last year’s V album with a video for Ghost.
“We wanted a video that represented the song visually and encapsulated the ambiguity of the lyrics,” they say. “We felt that in/out perfectly captured the tense feeling of the track and created one of our favourite videos to date.”
The band completed a North American tour at the start of this month, while we at Live4ever last caught them up onstage at Live At Leeds in May. “Now, at Live4ever we know our music, but we’re not infallible,” our review reads.
“So after ruling out an attempt to take in The Vaccines, we ended up at the Church venue only to be confronted with Bad Sounds, brothers who presumably failed an audition as CBeebies presenters before deciding on making the sort of Year 10 Hip-Hop which probably soundtracks ‘Rad’ fringe events for the Young Conservatives. Time for a well deserved cold drink it was.”
“They preceded a headlining set from The Horrors, who’ve gradually transformed from trust funded counterfeiters into almost too polished closers of the deal. True, the slightly weary crowd took a while to be enveloped by their black clad hosts, but by the ecstatic finale Something To Remember Me By even the tired and emotional hordes are gently coaxed into losing their collective sh*t.”
