The Horrors Euro support Belgian debut!

Everything has already been said. Every piece of praise been given too. So we just freely quote a recent Humo on the debut CD ‘Again Into Eyes’ below!
They took the abbreviation S.C.U.M. (Society for Cutting Up Men) from the manifesto of the same name by Valerie Solanas, the crazy feminist who shot Andy Warhol; Portishead already programmed them at All Tomorrow's Parties, the hippest of all festivals, before they even had an album out; one member is related by family to The Horrors, an other to Add N to (X)...
The sound is certainly monumental: each and every song floats in an ocean of synths en keyboards, with singer Thomas Cohen alternating the role of fog-horn and siren... Epic guitar rock in an ambitious British tradition that extends to The Verve and Echo & The Bunnymen, while the last song and latest single 'Whitechapel' betrays, yet again how important Arcade Fire has been for the youngest generation of musicians...
But we like S.C.U.M. better when they go completely synthetic, from ominous calm in 'Cast Into Seasons', that reminds of Talk Talk, to the perfect storm in 'Summon the Sound'. Lastly, 'Paris' is a baroque gem that can carry its own weight: piano patterns in the foreground, rearguard battles between feedback and synths...
We're already looking forward to the successor to 'Again Into Eyes': if the band manages to keep up with their own aspirations, it'll be a merciless hit.

Support-act will be locals Sabena. Driving en cheery electro-pop with African connections. May their career really take off now!
