Editors have announced a new album, ‘EBM’.
Their first full-length since Blanck Mass joined as a full-time member, the news comes alongside a brand new track, ‘Karma Climb’.
Following on from April’s ‘Heart Attack’, frontman Tom Smith explains: “It’s about hedonistic escapism, not only from the world generally, but also from what people think of you.”
The album title is an acronym of Editors and Blanck Mass, as well as a reference of Electronic Body Music, which heavily influenced the record.
“There is a strong physicality to this record,” Blanck Mass, aka Benjamin John Power, says. “’EBM’ started its life with the intention of connecting with people and filling a very physical space. There is also however an emotional physicality running throughout; An urgency and a sense of panic. An unease. Even in its more tender moments there is a yearning for connection.”
