ABOUT THIS ITEM

Some five years ago The Horror The Horror emerged from the Swedish club circuit, drawing influences from the late 60's and early 70's, sounding like the bastard child of a one-night stand at CBGB's. Their self titled debut album (released 2006) was a Record Of The Week' at Rough Trade and here at Piccadilly Records. Euphoric press reviews was followed by touring in the U.K, Germany, Spain, Austria and Sweden showcasing the bands explosive live sound. Wild times indeed!

In 2011, the direction has changed, leaving the shabby clubs for yacht parties, showing more commonality with David Gilmour than David Johansen. The sound of The Horror The Horror is evolving into something rather more luxurious. It still has an indie rock thorn, but grit has given way for gravy. THTH is coming in from the wilderness. Lyrically the new album is less "me against the world" and more "Where in the world am I?"

In fact: closer to the Stockholm Archipelago than the Lower Eastside.
