With their new album Violence out on Friday, Editors have detailed a UK and Ireland tour which will take place in October.

The band have been drip-feeding new material from their next LP during recent weeks, the latest of which, Hallelujah (So Low), got its premiere late last month.

“I wrote the words to Hallelujah (So Low) when I got back from a trip with Oxfam, visiting refugee camps in Northern Greece,” Tom Smith said of it. “It was obviously an incredibly moving trip, seeing people living in dust, surviving only on the help of others was very moving.”

“Musically the track hung on the relationship between the acoustic guitar and the drum machine, that was part of the track from my demo, it had something special very early on. Then when Justin came up with his outrageous guitar riff we knew we had a winner.”
