"The Horrors are onto a winner with their bolshy fifth album." - Larry Bartleet, NME "V, on the other hand, sounds, potentially at least, like a huge mainstream hit. It performs the not inconsiderable feat of sounding commercial without losing any of the Horrors’ essence or individuality. You might reasonably counter that the kind of British alt-rock that currently sells sticks close to a landfill indie blueprint, with none of the invention and imagination on display here. Equally, there’s something really powerful and undeniable about V’s songs that suggests it could provide the most unlikely twist in an unlikely story: the Horrors actually becoming as big as the overheated hype announced they would a decade ago. Whether that happens or not, it’s a triumph." - Alexis Petridis, The Guardian In 2007 The Horrors were at the crest of the great indie-rock wave of the naughties, bound to dominate the radio waves with their irreverent humour, ironic outfits and nihilistic musicianship. A decade later, they have done the even more unimaginable, reinvent themselves into full-fledged epic rock powerhouses, updating their DIY sound for an arena-ready presentation with the help of none other than production legend Paul Epworth.
