Artist:	THE HORROR THE HORROR
Title:	Wilderness
Label:	TAPETE (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	TR 212CD

Sometime in 2006, The Horror The Horror emerged from the Swedish club circuit, heavily deriving on influences from the late '60s and early '70s, ending up sounding like the bastard child of a one-night stand at CBGB's. Their self-titled debut album (released 2006) was instantly dubbed "Record Of The Week" at prestigious Rough Trade Records and Piccadilly Records, UK. Euphoric press reviews were followed by ecstatic fans and touring in the UK, Germany, Spain, Austria and Sweden, showcasing the band's explosive live sound. In 2011, the direction has changed, leaving the shabby clubs for yacht parties, showing more resemblance to David Gilmour than David Johansen. On their third album Wilderness, the sound of The Horror The Horror is evolving into something rather luxurious. It still has an indie rock thorn, but grit has given way to gravy. THTH is coming in from the wilderness. Lyrically, this album is less "me against the world" and more "where in the world am I?" In fact: closer to the Stockholm Archipelago than the Lower East Side.

Title:	Leaving/Vangelis
Label:	TAPETE (GERMANY)
Format:	7"
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	TR 223EP

Instead of a third single off the Wilderness album, The Horror The Horror chose to record again and are now releasing two brand-new tracks on beautiful white vinyl. Leaving/Vangelis is movie soundtracks from the early '80s. It is campfire. It is club music from the time when anyone with a sampler was king. It is a tiny bit disco. It is those cheesy hit songs you used to hear on the radio. And still, it is simply The Horror The Horror.
