Higher

about this album

Higher is a remix album by the Horrors, released in 2012 by XL Recordings. According to keyboardist Tom Furse, the band were driving across California when they had the idea that they should release a box set of singles taken from the album Skying. According to Furse, they got drawn in to other artists that "excited" the band: "However, through chance encounters and wanting to involve more people whose music excited us, the box soon grew into an impressive collection of sonic tapestries and hypnotic grooves and it became apparent that this was no longer about the singles. It was now about this new music which had used the different elements of Skying as a springboard to other ideas. 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." It was released two days after NME announced the album's existence.
