Skying

Skying is the third studio album by British band The Horrors. The album was released on 11 July 2011 in the UK and on 9 August 2011 in the US on XL recordings. Recorded by the band in their self-built London studio, it is the first record the band produced themselves. Two months prior to the album's release, the song "Still Life" was premiered on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show as his "Hottest Record in the World" where it was played in its entirety. This was the first track to be released from the album and the first indicator to fans of the direction the album would take.
