Editors Unleash New Single/Video "Kiss"

British indie rockers Editors have unleashed the video for their new single "Kiss".

The song is taken from their upcoming seventh studio album 'EBM', which will be out on September 23 via Play It Again Sam. Pre-order your copy here.

With its atmospheric disco-infused synths, energising drum machines and soaring falsetto vocals, singer Tom Smith describes it as a “crying on the dancefloor banger”, while Benjamin John Power states it “could almost be a Donna Summer song,” if it wasn’t so heavy.

Speaking on the video, Justin says: “The idea of this video came out of a want to do something simple and abstract that didn’t read too deep into the lyrics or any kind of blow by blow literal take on the lyrics. It was more about using the title to spark a theme to work on, using movement as the core medium. The idea I landed on would be to show the story of two souls constantly attracting and repelling each other, never quite fully coming together… until ultimately they succumb to being intertwined together for better or for worse.”

Editors Announce New LP 'EBM', Stream "Karma Climb"

British indie rockers Editors have announced the release of their seventh studio album 'EBM'.

The follow-up to 2018’s Violence, sees the band swell to a six piece outfit, with new member Benjamin John Power – better known as Blanck Mass – joining as a full time member last month. It will be out on September 23 via Play It Again Sam. Pre-order your copy here.

“There is a strong physicality to this record,” Power says of EBM. “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.”

“Ben has certainly been a shot of adrenaline in our creative process,” frontman Tom Smith adds of working with Power. “The songs are so immediate, and in your face.” He also says of “Karma Climb,”: “It’s about hedonistic escapism, not only from the world generally, but also from what people think of you.”
