Sep 26, 2017 By Christopher Roberts The Horrors

The Horrors released their excellent fifth album, the fittingly titled V, last Friday via Wolftone/Caroline (it was our Album of the Week). Now they have shared a video for album highlight (and closing track) “Something to Remember Me By.” Max Weiland directed the clip, which features the band in some medical complex. After signing waiver forms, the band is subjected to various strange medical experiments to collect their blood, sweat, and sperm. It ends with a bit of a twist. Watch it below. Oh, and keep in mind this is the radio edit of the song, which still sounds great, but is one minute shorter than the album version (which is even better).

Read our rave 8.5/10 review of V.

Previously The Horrors’ shared V‘s first single “Machine,” as well as a video for “Machine,” which was followed by the album’s expansive six-minute long closing track, “Something to Remember Me By” (which had euphoric electronic overtones and was our #1 Song of the Week), as well as the almost as expansive (it’s also over six minutes long), but not as dance-y “Weighed Down” (which was also one of our Songs of the Week).

Paul Epworth (London Grammar, Florence and the Machine, Bloc Party, Adele) produced V at the Church Studios, in North London. It’s the follow-up to 2014’s Luminous.

A previous press release promised that the album is diverse and that the band refuses “to stand still.” As lead singer Faris Badwan puts it in the press release: “It is a risk. But life isn’t much fun without risk. It’s the antithesis of being creative if you know what you’re going to be doing every time.”
