The Horrors – “So Now You Know” [YouTube Song Stream]

The Skinny: Last month British act The Horrors announced their return with details of their fourth studio album Luminous (out May 6 on XL Recordings), promising a “weirder, wilder and more colourful” sound. Teaser track “I See You,” a seven and a half minute synth anthem, “collects almost everything this band does well into one beautiful sprawling epic” notes Stereogum. Today the band will reveal “So Now You Know,” bringing fans one step further into the technicolour world of Luminous that awaits. A hazy backdrop of bubbling synths expand spectacularly into an otherworldly widescreen affair, with the commanding vocals of Faris Badwan leading the way. Stream the song just below!

Since returning, the band have brought their new sound to the inaugural 6Music Festival in Manchester, where they headlined Stage 2 (view here), and The Fly Awards, where they performed “I See You.” On May 1 Oxford Games Present, Spaceland and KCRW presents: Britweek music sessions – Featuring The Horrors and Toy at the First Unitarian Church in Los Angeles (on-sale Thursday 3/20).
