The Horrors
‘Primary Colours’, the follow up to the Horros' 2007 debut ‘Strange House’, features ten tracks and was recorded last summer with Portishead’s Geoff Barrow together with Craig Silvey and Chris Cunningham.
The album was produced by the band, Craig Silvey, Geoff Barrow of Portishead, and music video director Chris Cunningham. Recording took place in Bath during the summer of 2008.
A few weeks before the new album's release, a number of songs from the album were leaked and the album's first single, "Sea Within a Sea," was released as a digital download-only single on 17 March 2009. A music video for the song, directed by Douglas Hart (former bassist for The Jesus and Mary Chain), was also posted on the band's website on the same day.
The sophomore album Primary Colours was officially released 4 May 2009 to critical acclaim and reached #25 on the UK Albums Chart. The single "Who Can Say" was released on 7" vinyl one week later.
