The Horrors - Skying (2011)
This album is amazing and could very well be one of the best new albums I've heard this year. The band sound fully confident and on top of their game and they've crafted an excellent collection of songs. They seem to draw some influences here from the British post-punk of the late-70s/early-80's, as well as bands like the Stone Roses, yet still sound so fresh, modern and original. Highlights for me are 'You Said', 'Dive In' and 'Still Life'.
