A Design For Life
The Horrors' new video, for the b-side Whole New Way, just came out (a day or two ago, and I honestly have no idea how we’ve missed this). It’s simple but not in the Cornerstone-kind of simple. It shows the five boys walking in a field with medical spectacles (a kind that protect you against the light) as the sun goes up. It also fits into the whole make-over of the five Southenders. It follows the idea of maturity and growth they have been talking about ever since their sophomore album came out. But it drops the psychedelic/chaotic approach they had for Mirror’s Image and takes on the elegance of Who Can Say and Sea With A Sea.

ReplyDeleteOH, what a cheap imitation of Joy Division meets Echo & The Bunnymen with The Cramps attitude... They're so fake. They bore me to death.
