Ringlokschuppen, Bielefeld, Germany15th March 2014
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. The works on their newest album ‘The Weight Of Your Love’ were not running smooth and were leading to the split with long-time guitarist and keyboarder Chris Urbanowicz. The album was finally released in summer 2013 and sounds much rockier. One can be curious which shape these songs are going to take on when performed live with new band additions Justin Lockey (guitar, keys, films) and Elliott Williams (guitar, keys, vocals). Curious as well? Then don’t miss it when the Englishmen come to Bielefeld.
