Starting tomorrow, Friday, February 5th, Editors begin their long-awaited headlining North American tour in support of their acclaimed third album, In This Light And On This Evening. Available now via iTunes, the release features five exclusive bonus studio tracks and has received accolades from critics at SPIN, Nylon, Alternative Press, Filter and Metromix, among others. In This Light And On This Evening debuted at #1 on the UK charts week of release and charted in the Top 10 throughout the rest of Europe.

In This Light And On This Evening, which debuted at #1 in the UK charts, is the follow-up to 2007’s platinum selling record An End Has A Start, and was produced by Grammy Award winner Mark “Flood” Ellis (U2, Sigur Ros, Depeche Mode). The album finds Editors heading in a daring new direction where synths replace the soaring guitars and lead singer Tom Smith takes his vocals to haunting new places giving the album a dystopian, apocalyptic, mechanical ambience.

In conjunction with their first US headlining tour in two years, Editors will be playing inside your homes this coming February. In support of their highly anticipated new album In This Light And On This Evening, due out stateside on the FADER Label January 19th, 2010, Editors are hitting up late night TV.
