The Horrors - 'Count in Fives' (Loog) Released 30/10/06
The illegitimate offspring of 80’s Matchbox B-Line Disaster and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ era Queen, The Horrors have already received the IPC kiss of death. Style, in their case, threatens to envelope substance but this is a horror show to be enjoyed. ‘Count in Fives’ steals the buzzsaw riff of Nirvana’s ‘Territorial Pissings’ and gives it a Munsters organ, rave re-working Klaxons would be proud of - this is what the cool corpses are dancing to. B-side ‘Night of the Long Knives’ instils a similar desire to do ‘the Monster Mash but they should have released it on Halloween; it’d be the soundtrack to the hippest Ghost Train in town.
