Don't know why I missed this but Tom was on a German Music Show (which aires live every Friday) on 25th September. He performed Papillon on his own and acoustic. :stunned:

Ignore all the little information during the song, they are stupid. :dozey:

And they are coming! Jan 4 for me. I am really excited about going, its at a good venue, too. Front row coming up, and hopefully I can meet them.

that'd be great

waiting for the Cuttings EP and the Twilight Soundtrack song! - even though it's from Twilight... BOO

:wacky: let´s ignore that twilight fact lol its all about editors :D

 

and great video :stunned: :dance:

New Moon - baaaaaaaaaaaad

Getting to hear NSBTW FINALLY - good!

lol

obviously

I'm going to hate having the categorize it under 'New Moon Soundtrack' on my iTunes! :(

I'm not. Its gonna be a new b-side or album bonus track for me! :) Fucking new moon....

lmfao

good idea

maybe I'll add it to Cuttings 2, just because of Twilight!

and I'm sure it will make a b-side appearance.

 

PS

Tom said they want to get in the studio quick because they have songs they left out and want to get recording again! :D

that makes me excited, I read it on their forum

awesome, then they can play them when they come here in Jan!

Finally my local music store got the Papillon single and I got my copy of it. :nice: It funny to read that Papillon and its remix were recorded in some studio and the demos, quote "recorded and produced by Tom Smith in his home". :D Love the two demos right now.

YAY! :dance:

 

I just read it on their site (I guess it was there :thinking:) and thought the same thing like you, tauiwi! :stunned:

 

I hope they get in the Top 10 in the UK as well - they deserve it. Man, since Friday I'm totally in love with the new album, all the songs (except or The Big Exit, that needs to grow on me, I think) are in my iTunes Top 25 right now. :D

I just called my local store asking if they got new album today,the girl answered me that she does not have it and dont even know when will have ir or if they are gonna have it :bigcry:

That's really unfair! :bigcry:

I've listened to the new album a couple of times and I must say I'm not entirely convinced...

 

I'm hoping that it's going to be a grower, cos I love Papillon but the rest I'm not sure about yet...

 

:(

It's a bit of a grower, but in the end, it'a amazing! :cheesy:

 

Today I was at my local music store and since Friday they must have sold ALL the special edition albums they had! :stunned: Because they were all gone!

 

Need to check the album charts ... :escaping:

Hopefully you're right about it being a grower ;)

 

I loved their other stuff and I really want to like this too. I'm gonna stick with it and give it a few more listens before making any decisions :D

the album is brilliant. give it a chance.

most people didn't do that at all.

it is a spectacular album

NME Review. I think the comments are justified, but I wouldn't have given it a 5.

 

Album review: Editors - 'In This Light And On This Evening'

Neither Tesco angst fish nor dark art fowl

 

Can it really be this bad living with Edith Bowman? A dispute over nappy-changing: “You’ll get old and die here… you’ll choke, choke on the air you try to breathe”. Edith shaves her legs and doesn’t rinse the bath: “If there really was a God here/He’d have raised a hand by now”. Edith comes home spannered after a night on the lash with George Lamb: “You ran with the dead today/With the moles from the CIA/They say more than you ever say”.

 

Searching for authenticity in gloom is an irresponsible occupation: after all, the expectation that artists should live up to their angst was surely a factor in both Richey Manic’s ‘4 Real’ carve-up and Kurt Cobain’s demise. So, are Editors, on their third album, doing more than wallowing in mawkish bombast and “living out our secondhand clichés”, as they put it on ‘Like Treasure’? Well, yes and no. While a band that operates in their arena-sized realm is never going to take a Throbbing Gristle-style experimental leap, there’s no doubt that, in their own way, they’ve pushed the boat out far beyond the shallow emoting of ‘An End Has A Start’. That much is clear from the opening title track, heavily if deliberately dystopian through Smith’s bottom-end vocals and the electronic flicker of a panicked Morse transmission.

 

Despite its guffawsome Radiohead-aping title, ‘Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool’ also surprises with android duck calls, Kraftwerk synths and the kind of mysterious chorus Bono long ago forgot how to write. Single ‘Papillon’ is adequate Gahan-near-death-period Depeche Mode. Editors get it entirely right on ‘The Big Exit’, which features awkwardly slowed no-wave guitar and martial drums that dream of being produced by Martin Hannett, a noise like waking up to a circular saw bearing down on your sleepy eyes. The bass keeps up a decent rumble underneath, while a refrain of “They took what once was ours” passes final judgment. ‘Bricks And Mortar’ builds a house not far from where The Horrors sited ‘Primary Colours’ in the Neu! World, even if it ultimately typifies Editors’ malaise. Instead of just making do with a motorik intent and the occasional slicing synth to sharpen the edge of its stadium-bothering chorus, they throw in multi-tracked choral vocals, warm keyboards and a bothersome amount of guitar tracks. The effect is akin to being in three different indie clubs at once.

 

Those who’ve perfected epic gloom – The Cure, Joy Division, ‘Holy Bible’-era Manics – have ground the atmosphere out of minimalism, stripping everything back and hitting you hard between the eyes. ‘In This Light…’ suggests that Editors could yet push their trolley out of Ikea existentialism into a ditch of twisted metal, weeds and wires with the potential of finding something beneath. Indeed, they’ve possibly succeeded in alienating the casual fan with the brief moments of nastiness that are here. And with those people diverted back to Keane’s mooning lullabies, perhaps next time Editors might look to their dark forebears, discover the power of concision and hone what they have. For, as any good editor knows, less is more.

5 out of 10

Anyone else heard the new track 'No Sound But The Wind' yet? I think its pretty average, a slow, simple piano ballad with Tom's lyrics shining yet again.

I got the soundtrack and I am going to listen to the song soon!

 

the two demos from Papillon are nice
