Soon enough, you will know what a departure Editors third release is from their previous two albums. Released in October in the UK, the album has recived rave reviews for the band's brave new direction toward a more synth-oriented sound. We are still chewing on just how much 'different' we can take, but it is at the very least an improvement from the sophomoric
An End Has A Start. Tom Smith's commanding vocals in front of the chilled synth is quite a bit different than the brooding rock of their debut. We recommend breaking in easy with blipping ballad "The Boxer" or the soaring "Bricks And Mortar". You can get your hands on it when it is released in the US on January 19th. If you like what you hear, the band will be stateside for the following dates:
Feb 05 - Seattle, WA -Showbox at the Market
Feb 06 - Vancouver, BC -Commodore Ballroom
Feb 08 - San Francisco, CA - The Warfield Theatre
Feb 09 - San Diego, CA - House of Blues
Feb 11 - Los Angeles, CA - The Wiltern
Feb 13 - Denver, CO - Ogden Theatre
Feb 15 - Chicago, IL - Victoria Theatre
Feb 16 - Toronto, ON - Phoenix Concert Theatre
Feb 18 - Boston, MA - House of Blues
Feb 19 - New York, NY - Terminal 5
Feb 20 - Philadelphia, PA - Trocadero
Feb 21 - Washington, DC - 9:30 Club
Should be intersting to see how the new material meshes with the old.
