Music Review- The Horrors Primary Colours

The Horrors Primary Colors

The sophomore album from the Southend England band The Horrors is my album of the week. Having Geoff Barrow of Portishead, and the music video director Chris Cunningham as producers pretty much guarantee's a fantastic album. Add in creepy sythesizers, Ian Curtis-esqe vocals and some crazy instrumentals then you have a fucking awesome album. The very trance like sound of the first track Mirror's Image draws you in and the album ends on an equally high note with Sea within a Sea.
Honestly, I blow at writing album reviews. There a certain art to writing a review for something you can only hear and I don't have the musical knowledge to base most of my opinions on. If you are a fan of Post-Punk era Britpop (ie. Joy Division, Bloc Party, Depeche Mode) then you will most likely enjoy this album. You can tell the band and the producers really wanted to make something special with every track and they didn't just slap together 2 singles and a dozen crap songs to sucker some hipsters into blowing their money they made working at the coffee shop.
