Playing to a far smaller crowd than the previous act - Little Boots, the drum driven guitar swirls of The Horrors recall The Jesus And Mary Chain.

The core of the crowd are happy to remain in the eerie synth landscape but there's a lot leaving at the edges, clearly not won over by this indie mood music.

They build to a more upbeat sound with 'Who Can Say' but there's nothing in this performance that grabs me.

You can check out The Horrors performing 'Who Can Say' at Reading Festival for yourself - just play the video below!
