Editors have announced a new album.
'EBM', the follow-up 2018's 'Violence', is due for release on September 23 via Play It Again Sam. It will be their first with new bandmate Benjamin John Power, aka Blanck Mass. He said:
“There is a strong physicality to this record. EBM started its life with the intention of connecting with people and filling a very physical space. There is also however an emotional physicality running throughout; An urgency and a sense of panic. An unease. Even in its more tender moments there is a yearning for connection.”
The record's title has a double meaning. It's an acronym of Editors and Blanck Mass, as well as a nod to Electronic Body Music, a genre that developed in the 1980s in Western Europe and largely influenced the band's new material.
Following a summer of festival appearances in the UK and Europe, Editors will support the record with a newly announced European tour in October, then a UK and Ireland tour in early 2023. Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time on June 10.
Meanwhile, head below to check out the record's artwork, alongside new single Karma Climb, a propulsive, '80s new wave-leaning cut. It follows the first single, Heart Attack, which arrived back in April.
