The Horrors released new single "Weighed Down" today. With dub influences and a pulsing electronic beat, the third single from new album V reveals a different side than the two previous singles. The Guardian described it as "squalling, elegant melancholia" with the track's experimental middle 8 swirling straight into a haunting finale. The band is also set to return to the US for two intimate shows in New York City, September 18 & 19 at Rough Trade NYC.
