Lead vocalist Faris spoke out in an interview in April 2024 with Jasper Willems.

“I feel like we’re a little bit of an anomaly in some ways; we’ve never really been part of a scene with loads of other bands,” Faris said.

“I feel The Horrors have always existed a little bit outside of whatever else is going on.

“I think that just comes from having conviction in what you want to do and not really thinking about what’s currently happening.

“What people get into is so cyclical and you just have to get on and do what you think is right in whatever moment, you know?” he said.

The band have five albums aside from their most recent one.

The Horrors have released Strange House (2007), Primary Colours (2009), Skying (2011), Luminous (2014), and V (2017).
