Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following the gothic post-punk of 'Primary Colours', The Horrors expand their sound into bright, expansive psychedelia on 'Skying'. The album is driven by soaring synths and baggy grooves, evoking the sound of 80s alternative rock. It is a euphoric, wide-screen reinvention for the band.
