I’ve never quite understood the appeal of this band; however they seem to have built up quite a following over the past year or so since the release of ‘Sheena is a Parasite’ with its banned video directed by Chris Cunningham. It was this video that gained them notoriety and began their ascent to popularity.
The Horrors music is a bit different from the norm, making them stand out with some uniquely eerie guitars and organ driving through their tracks. ‘Gloves’ is a disjointed, organ heavy mess that quite frankly offends my ears. There is far too much going on at the same time in this track, with nothing seeming to fit together at all and therefore not making for a pleasurable listening experience in the slightest. I’m all for bands trying to do something a little different as long as it sounds good, however The Horrors music sounds far from good as far as I’m concerned meaning ‘Gloves’ is one of the most shockingly bad tracks I have heard in a long while. I shan’t be listening to this one again if I can help it.
