news: The Horrors announce live dates for Autumn 2014
May 13, 2014Including date at Bournemouth O2 Academy
New album ‘Luminous’ is out now
Following a triumphant return to the music landscape with the release of their exquisitely crafted fourth album ëLuminousí, The Horrors have announced a tour for Autumn 2014. The announcement follows a string of US dates in New York, LA and Austin, and of course their sell-out album launch Show at The 100 Club. Tickets for the tour will go on sale Friday 16th May at 9am – www.gigsandtours.com and ticketweb.co.uk.
With upcoming festival slots at Field Day, Lovebox, The Isle Of Wight, Reading and Leeds and End Of The Road, the album, described by The Observer Music Monthly as ‘not just psychedelic, but glowing’, is a serious contender for the soundtrack of the summer.
The band recently unveiled the cinematic visuals for the album’s lead single ‘So Now You Know’ – a striking coming of age narrative spanning the desolate landscapes of an empty LA desert town. Currently playlisted on Radio 1, 6Music, Absolute Radio and XFM, “So Now You Know” is an otherworldly widescreen affair with the commanding vocals of Faris Badwan leading the way.
