Over the course of their brief career,  British rockers The Horrors have restlessly experimented with their sound. Their most recent release, the radiant, New Wave-nudged Skying, is one of the most beautiful albums of 2011. The quintet return to the New York area this weekend to play the Portishead-curated ATP Festival in Asbury Park on October 1 and Manhattan's Webster Hall on October 4. After the jump, check out the four-song set they played for The Alternate Side - including a majestic 10-minute-plus jam of "Moving Further Away." And you can listen to The Horrors chat about everything from Krautrock to their first gig on TAS in Session on 91.5 WNYE this Friday, September 30, at 11 a.m. and streaming on The Alternate Side.
