Editors by Rahi Rezvani
Editors make plans for the spring.
Editors have announced the details of a London gig later this year.
The band will play a show at the O2 Academy Brixton on May 2nd, with tickets going on general sale from March 8th.
Their last studio album, meanwhile, remains 2022’s EMB, one which saw the addition of Benjamin John Power, AKA Blanck Mass.
“There are some obvious hallmarks of transition; tracks are longer, with Kiss reaching a most un-6Music friendly 8 minutes long, recalling the elite mid-80’s synth bangers of New Order or The Pet Shop boys, a tune so club infused that Power has admitted it could ‘almost be a Donna Summer song’,” our review reads.
So far, so not so head-mashing, but after almost 2 decades it’s apparent that the players here are way too shrewd for resorting to just strobes and darkness.
“Opener Heart Attack certainly opens buzzing with industrial menace, but the richness of Smith’s baritone is wisely left unmolested and even a barrage of bleeps, beats and white noise fails to totally overwhelm the glaze of inner pop at work.”
