The Horrors

Listen to full tracks now. Users outside the UK can hear 30-second clips of each song.

If ever there was a tune specifically made for strutting down the road looking like the coolest cat on God’s green earth, it would no doubt sound exactly like this. Quite possibly the best song from their debut album (Surely that’s a bit like recommending we go and see the Sahara’s biggest penguin? – Ed), it’s a swaggering, evil-sounding funk-fest, with spinning synths and ’60s swizzles and a beat that just makes you want to say the word ‘groovy’.

One of the greatest songs ever written. Oh the continual genius that is The Horrors. Oh how I dearly love Mr Spider Webb.

I had this amazingly out of proportion argument with my friend over just how truly amazing this band is, but songs like this make the (temporary)loss of a dear friend worth while.
