The Horrors Luminous XL Recordings; 2014 Release date: 5 May 2014 Preorder Luminous Rating: 5/5 If you’re wondering what makes The Horrors stand out from the current crop of guitar-toting UK ‘indie-rock’ acts, then this quote from frontman Faris Badwan regarding why the release of Luminous was delayed will explain it: We basically […]
