+ PROMO INFO SHEET

“One of the pleasures of remixing is seeing how other 

people construct their music. Re-arranging the bricks 

in The Horrors’ wall of sound was a particular joy.”

 - Andrew Weatherall

 

The Horrors release a very special, limited edition 

(1000 copies worldwide), deluxe boxed set of the singles and 

videos from ‘Skying’. The set includes covers, reworkings, 

remixes and more, across two CDs, four 12”s and a DVD.

 

“We were driving through the deserts of California when we

 hatched the plan to release a boxed set of the singles from 

‘Skying’, unaware that it would balloon into the monster that 

it did. […] We encouraged everyone involved to be as 

obtuse as possible, to get as far away from the original 

source material as they could. The results are stunning, and

 I think it's just a shame we couldn't have 

done more.” - Tom Furse, The Horrors

 

The box set features an eclectic collection of musicians, DJs

 and producers from widely contrasting genres but all fans 

and friends of The Horrors: Connan Mockasin, Seahawks, Andrew

 Weatherall, Blanck Mass, Peaking Lights, Cherrystones, Chris Watson, Daniel

 Avery, JTC and Andy Blake.

 

The images that make up the cover and boxed set package

 were created by celebrated young artist Leif Podhajsky, who 

has previously artworked releases by Lykke Li, Tame Impala and Grimes.

 

The Horrors are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to ‘Skying’.

 

Connan Mockasin has a deliciously off-kilter and gloriously 

idiosyncratic worldview. His ingenious approach to invention

 and a unique charm caught the attention of Erol Alkan, who signed Connan

to his label Phantasy.

Connan is most known for his eccentricity, his miasma of 

psychedelic tangents, jazz interludes and echoing guitars.

 

Cherrystones is the sound of psychedelia-soundtracks-folk-

rock-prog-noise-moog-AND-library-records. Music that 

takes its inspiration from rock ‘n’ roll and applied in a hip

 hop context. For the last two years he has been amassing 

the choicest cuts that could very possibly put Madlib to shame.

 

Chris Watson is one of the world’s leading recorders of wildlife 

and natural phenomena, editing his field recordings into a filmic

 narrative. The unearthly groaning of ice in an Icelandic glacier

 is a classic example of, in Watson's words, putting a microphone

 where you can't put your ears. His ‘Weather Report’ album was 

named in The Guardian’s 1000 Albums To Hear Before You

 Die list. He is also a founding member of post

punk outfit Cabaret Voltaire.

 

While Daniel Avery may be better known for his residency behind 

the decks at London institution Fabric, he is fast rising as a 

respected producer. His induction into the fabriclive mix series 

provides compelling evidence of this, a dizzy trip that highlights

 Avery’s skill as both a curator and a creator of some of the 

most inventive and forward thinking electronic sounds emerging today.

 

Blanck Mass is Benjamin John Power, a young musician in

thrall to Carl Sagan, Ennio Morricone and the infinity of nature. 

His work is themed around complexity of the natural world. 

The debut album ‘Blanck Mass’ was produced at home in 

London 2010 and features a collection of warm 

analogue synths, heavy sub and deep drones.

 

Seahawks were formed by Jon Tye and Pete Fowler back in 

2009. Spurred on by their love of Yacht Rock and Cosmic 

Synth they somehow fused the two, resulting in a series of 

now super rare 12”s compiled on the ‘Ocean Trippin’ CD. 

They remixed Badly Drawn Boy and Born Blonde, before 

releasing the ‘Another Summer With Seahawks’ collection 

and a 7” featuring pop sensation Autre Ne Veut. ‘Invisible

 Sunrise’ followed in 2011 along with many more remixes.

 

Andrew Weatherall’s extraordinary twenty-five year career

 in music has been characterized by a series of unique partnerships. 

He has released nineteen albums, thirty or so EPs and singles

plus more than two hundred and fifty remixes.

 

Andy Blake founded the legendary Dissident label, famous for 

releasing analogue oddities on quality vinyl pressings from 

emerging as well as established artists. Now sadly defunct, 

Blake continues pushing music boundaries as a DJ remixer.

 

Tadd Mullinix makes spaced-out house tracks as JTC 

(James T Cotton), one of his many guises 

 devoted to a specific production style.

 

This particular alias debuted in 2001 on Ghostly 

International with the ‘Mind Your Manners’ single.
