Releasing a double album in 2019? Bold move. Writing a song about synthesizer brands? Even bolder. Or in other words: The Divine Comedy are back. On their eleventh studio album, the band from Northern Ireland returns with unstoppable curiosity, wit and love for imagination while the storytelling circles around one theme in particular: Office Politics. A title enough to stretch the band's already existing creative dimensions even further and leaving a lot of room for brilliantly witty observations.
There are ups and downs in every band's career but the latter ones are way harder when your start was a furious one. And it looks like many groups from the glorious 00s indie movement are in an ongoing creative crisis.
After almost twenty years in the scene gloomy British post-punkers Editors aren't done yet evolving. With a recently introduced sixth band member their freshly released seventh album takes a surprising turn towards the dancefloor without losing the band's musical appeal. It's a thin line but they manage to dance on it. Longtime band supporter Norman Fleischer spoke with drummer Ed Lay a few days before the band started their European tour.
Only a couple of weeks before British indie rockers EDITORS release their new highly anticipated fourth longplayer The Weight Of Your Love. Today the group around frontman unveils the opening track from the record entitled The Weight. Previously the band already gave us the record’s first single A Ton Of Love, an acoustic version of Honesty and the b-side The Sting. The full longplayer comes on July 1st via PIAS. The clip features images from the EDITORS recording sessions in black and white. Watch it right here.
