The Horrors ~ Primary Colors

[mr_spenalzo]

"Oceans Burning" is the one I keep returning to. It's so beautiful.

I think it's time to get the hype machine rolling on this bitch:

The Horrors discuss 'heavier, more electronic' new album | News | NME.COM

And they'll be playing a festival in February, so I'm guessing that we might finally get something new at that point:

We are pleased to announce that we will be playing the BBC Radio 6 Music Festival 2014 in February. For all details on tickets and line up follow the link below.

Oops, looks like they've been playing a new song over the last year:

This should be exciting.

 

[bono_212]

They posted a picture of a 3 on Facebook and nothing else.... WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

 

[Joey788]

March 3rd, hopefully?

Sent from my SM-G730V using U2 Interference mobile app

 

[bono_212]

That would be too great

 

[bono_212]

They posted a picture of the word "Two" Friday night, and the number "1" last night.

Expect something tonight, between 6pm (cst) and 7pm

 

[u2popmofo]

What if they post "0" tonight?

 

[bono_212]

I'll cry.

 

[LemonMelon]

What if they post "0" tonight?

Then U2 is managing them.

The Horrors Announce New Album Luminous | News | Pitchfork

 

[bono_212]

I was so mad at them last night for not saying anything that I didn't even bother to check this morning, lol. Thanks, I Yup!

 

[bono_212]

Alright, should be playing here in about 10 minutes on the radio station I'm listening to.

 

[bono_212]

I think that this might be the same song as the one I posted above, but it's not called "Elixer Spring" it's called "I See You".

It's really good, either way. I'm recording the audio, cause I'm a nerd. This will probably be unnecessary in about an hour, regardless, but I do what I want.

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, it's exactly the same song. Nice to know that's it's on the album, I really like it.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Pretty good song, I liked Skying an awful lot so naturally this is something I dig.

This new album is setting up to be pretty damn good. Two for two so far.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Now this is kickass, as good as anything on Skying for me.

 

[bono_212]

I've been trying to avoid listening to it, but you guys are making me cave.

 

[bono_212]

Caved like the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl. This album is going to be great (I hope).

 

[Vlad n U 2]

You can't resist this, it's all so very good.

The Horrors - 'I See You' (Official Lyric Video) - YouTube

I'm listening to this because apparently they're playing out here soon, and the venue posted this song on FB. It's not too bad, is it?

 

[bono_212]

I haven't seen them in quite a long time.... Maybe, maybe.

 

[martha]

Do it.

 

[iron yuppie]

So far Luminous sounds like a Psychedelic Furs album. That's not a bad thing.

 

[martha]

I bought us tickets to see them in October only because it means I can finally see Moon Duo. We saw them when they toured for their first album, and we liked the show. But when they toured with the Black Angels, and played second, I only lasted a song and a half. We'll see what happens in October.

 

[bono_212]

I didn't catch that The Horrors have been doing listening parties to their albums on Twitter, but I managed to today, and it's for Strange House. I haven't listened to this album in about 10 years....I like it SO much more than I did then.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I see they're Tim Burgess' listening parties, he's been doing them for about two months now - I'm impressed that he's kept it going for so long.

Also, I have to say that V would have to be my favourite Horrors album, and despite the critical acclaim it got I don't ever remember anyone else talking about it.
