No Harm

Play It Again Sam

WE SAY

It’s almost two years since Editors' previous album The Weight Of Your Love and expectations are running high for new music from the band. So imagine the surprise yesterday when a fan called Erik Drost discovered a fresh unreleased song from the forthcoming album cleverly hidden away on a 12-track Play It Again Sam label sampler. In a neat bit of promotion, the band encouraged fans to try and seek out this rather wonderful song, which had been unlisted as a track on the taster CDs distributed across indie record stores. We’re impressed not just with Erik’s tenacity at finding it but with the moody, atmospheric song itself, reminiscent of Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore at his introspective best. There aren’t any plans for this to be a single but it will feature on the band's next album later in the summer and we do know they’ve been working with Rachel Goswell of Slowdive recently, so as a first illustration of what we can possibly expect; it’s exciting and fascinating in equal measure but potentially beguiling too. Watch this space.
