When the band regrouped in summer 2025 to work on a follow-up, after three albums written and recorded very much as in-the-studio projects, Editors felt they wanted to go back to a more natural approach, something that harked back to their earliest days, sat in a practice room in Stafford, facing each other as they worked through songs together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike on last year’s solo record \u003cem\u003eThere is Nothing In The Dark That Isn’t There In The Light\u003c\/em\u003e, frontman Tom Smith took a similar stripped back, acoustic-based approach to the new Editors material, bringing a selection of songs to the band for them to play together, trying different things out, and seeing where they went. In terms of creating the record, “It was a very productive summer,” says Smith. “The sun was out for the most part, we were in greenest Gloucestershire, not far from where I live, on this innocuous little industrial estate – it was pretty much the opposite of being in Berghain!”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PIAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58200183964028,"sku":"5400863212674","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/9763\/5678\/files\/EDITORS_LP_MOCKUP_-_BLACK_VINYL.webp?v=1794576567","url":"https:\/\/offthebeatentracks.co.uk\/products\/editors-surface-echo-and-sound-new-lp","provider":"Off The Beaten Tracks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
