Skying has a new swagger and panache, but it also possesses that lightness of touch which was first audible in Primary Colours.
With Skying, the band has moved on to their own distinct personality by simply evolving.
It’s still the work of a band firing on all cylinders.
Skying leaves me perhaps more interested in where they'll go next, than where they are now.
With Skying, The Horrors continue to explore familiar territory whilst refining their idiosyncratic slant like proficient tastemakers.
If all you can see is a tangle of influences then you’re standing too close to the picture, and when ‘Skying’’s visions come into focus, it not only reaffirms that ‘Primary Colours’ was far from a fluke, but that they could go so much further.
The Horrors have evolved into a dependable band making wide-reaching rock music.
