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.

Jim Jarmusch collaborator Christopher Doyle was at the helm of the newest Editors shoot.

Sometimes you have to put yourself first, no matter how difficult that notion seems; no matter how much time and effort you’ve already put into this one person—the person who’s reduced your very being to its absolute core. Just ask Peter Silberman, the string-pulling founder of The Antlers, a solo project that suddenly went widescreen on the self-released Hospice LP (now receiving a proper widespread pressing through Frenchkiss). The first Antlers effort to feature two key permanent players—powerhouse drummer Michael Lerner and the layer-lathering multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci—it’s an album with a sound that’s actually as ambitious as its concept.

After two years away, Editors are returning to the US for a long-awaited headlining North American tour this February in support of their highly anticipated new album In This Light And On This Evening. The album, which is out stateside via FADER Label January 19th 2010, debuted #1 on the charts the week of release in the UK this past October and charted in the Top 10 throughout the rest of Europe.

The UK’s #1 selling album and Europe Charts topper “This Light And On This Evening” is being released in the US via Fader Label on January 19th 2010. Digital pre-releases are now available via iTunes and other retailers.

As the old adage goes – If you’re not growing, you’re dying. Editors have decided that they’ll do the former, thank you. In This Light And On This Evening, which debuted at #1 in the UK charts last week, 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.

Editors have announced details of a Spring 2010 UK tour, in support of their new album ‘In This Light and On This Evening’, which is currently no.1 in the UK album chart.

Over in the albums chart, Editors hit the top spot with their new album ‘In This Light and On This Evening’ while Paolo Nutini’s album ‘Sunny Side Up’ is a big climber, jumping 26 places to no.5.
