BIRMINGHAM indie rockers Editors have announced a show at Dolan's Warehouse on October 9 as part of a whistle-stop Irish tour in support of their forthcoming third album, 'In This Light And On This Evening'. The band is set to release their latest album before the Irish tour kicks off. Editors returned in 2007 with 'An End Has A Start', the follow-up to their highly acclaimed debut 'The Back Room'. Recorded in Ireland at Grouse Lodge with Garret Lee and mixed at Olympic Studios by Cenzo Townshend, the album saw the same team behind the re-recorded version of 'Bullets' set to work on an entire collection of Editors work with stunning results. Whilst The Back Room seethed with claustrophobic menace and icy grandeur, An End Has A Start saw Tom Smith more focused on the power of redemption and the human necessity for friendship and family in the face of death. However, Tom is keen to stress that not all is dark in Editors world. Alongside the inevitable, the record also reflected the hectic touring of the last two years that saw Editors play everywhere from Istanbul to Osaka: “Living in an over-populated but exciting world, the buzz of the city, electricity, neon, lights, skyscrapers, planes, billions of people all run through the lyrics of songs on the record”. Smith describes Editors' third album, scheduled for release this autumn, as having an “electronic sheen”. The new album was recorded with producer Flood and assisted by Ben Hillier. Editors play Dolan's Warehouse on Friday October 9. Tickets cost €27 and are now available from the venue. |
