The Horrors have spoken about their efforts to build a follow up to 'Primary Colours'.
Lambasted in some quarters as being style over content, The Horrors hit back in the best way possible. Second album 'Primary Colours' was a stunning return, fusing their garage rock template to clicking Motorik rhythms.
Blowing apart their black and white image, 'Primary Colours' was a technicolour release which benefited from Portishead musician Geoff Barrow on production duties.
Currently working on their third album, The Horrors have spoken about the recording process. Holed up in their London studio, the black-clad group are putting the finishing touches on their new batch of material.
Speaking to the NME, The Horrors explained that Geoff Barrow insisted they produce themselves on their third album. "When we were working with Geoff it was kind of his suggestion (to work on their own)" said Rhys Webb.
"He was into the way in which we attacked them [the songs]. And towards the end of the process, he said, 'Why don't you guys just go for it yourselves next time?'"
Continuing, The Horrors confirmed that ten songs had been completed so far. Working in Dalston, the band have so far refused to confirm any potential release date.
Meanwhile, singer Faris Badwan is set to launch a new club night in London. Held in The Book Club, the night will mix carefully chosen music with visuals including the singer's own art.
A gifted young artist, Badwan spent much of last year exhibiting his work in events across the country.
The Horrors are due to release new material later this year.
