Editors Explain Bladerunner Influenced New Album
Editors frontman Tom Smith has explained the sci-fi influences behind their new album 'In This Light and On This Evening'.
Smith told BBC 6 Music said the album was the sound of the band trying to “tame” machines such as Bladerunner and Terminator.
“Hopefully it doesn't sound clinical and emotionless like a lot of electronic records do,” he said. “Hopefully it's warm and breathing."
Smith added that the album, produced by Flood, marked an obvious change in direction from its predecessors – Editors' self-titled debut and 2007's 'An End Has A Start'.
"It is different from our previous records, there are things it has in common with the first album,” he added.
"I see both those records as a progression from the last. This one isn't."
Editors are expected to release their third album ahead of a show in Birmingham on September 10.
The group are then set to embark on a nationwide UK and Ireland tour in October.
