British post-punk band Editors’ debut record the Back Room turns 10 years old this July, and a decade on, it still remains one of the finest and most unappreciated records of the 2000s. Tom Smith’s evolving rock band has had its share of highs and lows since the release, and today, Editors have shared their newest single, the minimal and brooding “No Harm.”
Smith has a bit of an Andrew Eldritch thing going on here, and the song has a bit of that original darkness that was first so appealing. “No Harm” was released as a hidden track on a PIAS compilation released earlier this week, and as DIY Magazine notes, was “discovered by Editors fan Erik Drost. “Editors were pretty vague with instructions, saying their new song was on a ‘compilation’ and that ‘you won’t find it on the track listing,” according to DIY mag.
Well now it’s here.
Editors have been working on the follow-up to 2013’s The Weight Of Your Love with Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell. Follow their process via Instagram.
