Skying

by The Horrors

The 2105th greatest album of all time

Skying is the Horrors' third studio album, released in 2011, and marks a move toward a more expansive, synth-forward take on post-punk revival and neo-psychedelia. The record emphasizes reverb-soaked guitars, layered keyboards, and steady, driving rhythms that create dense, cinematic textures, while Faris Badwan's detached vocal style sits atop lush arrangements. Overall the album consolidates the band's shift from raw garage beginnings toward a more art rock and psychedelic soundscape with longer, immersive song structures.
