Editors – “Papillon”
so who gave editors the synthesizer?? really.. Editors’ new single “Papillon” is off their 3rd LP In This Light and On This Evening, and is without a doubt a departure from both The Back Room and An End Has a Start. the track propels Editors into the heavy synth and dance beat territory, which is yet to prove welcoming or not. Maybe a new sound will prove some magic as heard on The Back Room. maybe I’ll run into the band at a dive bar 80′s dance party. and maybe they’ll be partying with depeche mode… while interpol watches jealously in a corner?

hmm,the only song of theirs I had before this was “blood(??)” I think.
and i really liked that, I can’t say im a big enough fan to agree with the new approach being “so-so” but, the synthesiser doesn’t really work with the whole “indie baritone” voice.

Why you guys always have to “stamp and label” every band you’re listening to? Why wouldn’t Editors have the right to go on a short journey to “New Order territories”. That song is great, and their live performances come close to perfection (saw them in Brussels and Luxemburg). But the question is… who f*** sold rights to produce a remix to that disaster insult to music known as “Tiesto”?????
