Editors Release Second CD "An End Has A Start"; Set Out On Tour
The popular indie goth-rock band Editors have followed up their platinum 2005 debut with their sophomore CD titled An End Has A Start, which rocketed to the top of the U.K. album charts just days after its release.
For fans who are unaware of the band - and those of who you just can't get enough - you can listen and download songs from the album on Editors' official website and on the band's MySpace page.
There is also a free MP3 download of the album available in the links section of this website.
Music critics and fans are giving the new LP a thumbs up, although not as enthusiastically as the group's highly acclaimed 2005 debut album The Back Room.
Check out Editors' newest official music videos, including An End Has A Start.
Here's what singer and songwriter Tom Smith told AOL Sessions about the new album after a recording this summer: "There is a lot of death on the record, that sounds pretty morbid but it's the truth. Death has touched me and my friends in the last year in several ways. Realizing everything comes to an end is important and I think we've done our best to make it something glorious and uplifting as well as scary."
Editors have been on a roll since the 2005 release of their first single "Bullets" was followed up by their break-through single "Munich" that "made them darlings of the U.K. music press," according to AllMusic.
The four lads caught the attention of just about everyone that year, but it was the band's performance at the 2005 annual Glastonbury Music Festival that rocketed the band to fame in the U.K. and Europe. Shortly after the festival, and in a whirl of rock media frenzy, the band released it's third single "Blood".
Without much delay, Editors were back in the Kitchenware Records studios working on their much anticipated debut CD The Back Room, which was subsequently released in the summer of 2005.
As is the case with many artists that become popular relatively fast, pressure mounted on the band and the record label to pump out more music. Thankfully, pure demand economics, and some smart decision-making on the part of Kitchenware, the single "Munich" was reissued in January 2006.
Soon after, The Back Room made it into the Top Five on the U.K. charts, followed by a gold record and a number of music awards.
The Editors are in the midst of an extensive U.S. tour next month with openers Stellastarr, and later on with Ra Ra Riot, a band "to watch" out of Syracuse, New York.
With their catchy, somewhat frantic musical flair that the six or so members deliver with seemingly boundless energy and near chaotic stage antics - thus, the name - Ra Ra Riot may be one homegrown answer to Canada's wildly popular, sweepingly energizing band Arcade Fire, who even made it on the cover Time magazine.
