Ringlokschuppen, Bielefeld, Germany20th November 2009
Editors
EDITORS are a studied four-piece hailing from England’s agrestic periphery. Musically, the band’s sound is clearly reminiscent of JOY DIVISION, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN and early R.E.M not least due to the dark baritone timbre of singer Tom Smith catering for a pinch of melancholy besides the energy of the songs. The songs of the band blend the futility of life with the constant possibility of relief and the hope for better days to come. Without any didactic aspiration, EDITORS create with their music and lyrics dramatic situations without resolutions, giving their listeners the chance of association with their own experiences.
The band follows the line of a great British tradition with names like Morrissey, Ian Curtis or Guy Garvey dedicated themselves to. Their songs live on their ambiguity. Nothing’s what it seems to be and the biggest punch usually hides behind the simplest line. Their newest and third album ‘In this Light and on this Evening’ has just been released in Germany that, whilst going back to the band’s roots, is a big step and pushes the boundaries with an increased use of electronics, as heard already on the preceding single ‘Papillion’. One can be curious which shape these songs are going to take on when performed live. Curious as well? Then don’t miss it when the Englishmen come to Bielefeld on 20th November.
