The month of May is a busy time for UK music lovers, with so many festivals taking place over the course of its four-and-a-half weeks.

Aug 21, 2018 By Charles Steinberg

I have a vivid recollection of when Editors swept into the frame of my life. I was quite literally engulfed in a dissertation at The University of Edinburgh, barely completing my master’s program and frankly, in over my head. More

Remember when you closed the door to your adolescent room, head spinning from that uniquely youthful, unbound energy that needed to be channeled somewhere? Picture a summer night in your past, hormones raging and you throw on The Smashing Pumpkins’ Siamese Dream. Suddenly, another part of your being that you’ve only just become acquainted with is jolted awake. You break into air guitar, or break out a real one, feeling yourself grow two feet taller. More

Sep 23, 2022 By Andy Von Pip

For some, Editors have never quite recaptured the thrilling dark euphoria of their glittering debut album, 2005’s The Back Room. It certainly appeared to be an album informed by the edgy claustrophobia of the likes of Joy Division and Interpol, but also with flourishes of U2 levels of arena pomp. More

May 07, 2019 By Matt the Raven

Originally released as a limited edition vinyl LP for Record Store Day 2019, The Blanck Mass Sessions is a re-work of seven songs from Editors’ 2018 album Violence, and one bonus track, by electronic music producer Benjamin John Power (aka Blanck Mass) that is now seeing a general release in all formats. More

Mar 09, 2018 By Matt the Raven

Editors have always demonstrated a passion for slick New Wave synth-rock, albeit a little dreamier and a little darker than the type that dominated the airwaves in the ‘80s. And Violence is no different. But contrary to what the gloomy song titles suggest, the band’s sixth record is actually a kinder and gentler Editors album, musically speaking. More

Oct 07, 2015 By David Edwards

While it still may not rank with Editors’ finest work, In Dream is the sound of a band finally moving on and discovering new ground rather than dwelling on past concerns, and the better for it. More

Sep 02, 2013 By Chris Saunders

Feb 12, 2010 By Laura Studarus

For their third studio album In This Light and On This Evening, Britain’s Editors have swapped guitars for synths and pessimism for nihilism. However, in their attempts to procure an oppressively dark ambience, they have bypassed heroes Depeche Mode and New Order, landing straight in standard-issue mall-Goth territory—a place with little thematic variance.
