Editors by Rahi Rezvani
The Editors tour is on sale from December 14th.
Editors have announced a UK tour for early 2024.
The dates in Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Bath, Birmingham and Southampton will follow the release of the band’s EBM album last year; “There are some obvious hallmarks of transition,” our review reads.
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’. 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.”
