Editors have unveiled the first taster of their upcoming new album. Check out 'No Harm' below. 

It seems like only yesterday when the Birmingham post-punk stars dropped 2013's massive The Weight Of Your Love, but the band are already readying the release of their fifth album, having finished mixing it back in March. 

The band remained coy about where to hear the new track, but now it has surfaced on a new compilation CD from label PIAS - with fans since taking online to share the song. 

The track is a promising sign of things to come, with the band drawing on synth-y soundscapes to paint a brooding, ominous and cinematic slow-burning as frontman Tom Smith coolly and menacingly pines: "I'll boil easier than you, crush my bones into glue, I'm a go-getter - the system's in red, the room is inbred, I'm a go-getter"

The band has since taken to Facebook to post: "Well done to fan Erik Drost who found our hidden track on the Play It Again Sam sampler CD... If you already have the sampler CD, you have the track! Use a CD player and rewind back from the first track to find it. Erik also uploaded the song to YouTube for those of you without CD players."

Fans eagerly await more information about their new album, as well as upcoming summer tour plans.
