THE HORRORS - Primary Colours

Pull up a chair, because you should really spend the next 12 minutes or so, watching these two new videos by The Horrors. You could say they look and/or sound like a multitude of artists, because they definitely have their influences up front and center - Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, Brian Eno, to name a few. But the new sophomore LP Primary Colours is a jaw-dropping opus of an album, that will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the year's best. Shoegazer anthem rock with perfect splashes of Eno-esque synth drama. Primary Colours is bold and theatrical, and it immediately demands your attention.

Now witness the (real) arrival of The Horrors with this pair of stunning videos directed by Douglas Hart. The first one is 8 1/2 minutes long so get comfortable.
