Editors - The Back Room

"Look at us through the lens of the camera.. does it remove all of our pain?

If we run, they'll look in the back room, where we hide all of our secrets.

I'll just close my eyes as you walk out..."

After supporting Franz Ferdinand on their recent UK arena tour and scoring a top ten hit with the single ‘Munich’, Editors debut album has gone platinum after climbing the album charts to #2.

Following great names like Interpol, Echo & The Bunnymen or Joy Division, Editors stand now heading to a position as one of the most important UK bands of the decade, all on their own terms, all through their own hard work and the dedication and, most crucially, respect, of their ever increasing fan base. With Tom Smith in the vocals, Chris Urbanowicz in the guitar, Ed Lay in the drums and Russell Leetch in the bass, Editors stormed on the UK music scene in early 2005, starting with the single "Bullets".. and since then, it's all about growing. Reminding us of Ian Curtis from Joy Division or Dead Can Dance's Brendan Perry, Tom Smith's lowtoned and mesmerizing voice fit's perfectly with each track from "The Back Room". They really know how to write topnotch tunes.. With emotive lyrics, swirling guitars, perfect basslines and rifting drums, they sure can hook you up! 'Munich' is one of the most impressive tracks in the album, alongside with 'Blood', 'Fall', 'Camera' and 'Distance', all of them are outstanding. 'Bullets' marked their way in the UK being their first single, following up with 'Munich' and 'Blood' as second and third single, busting Editors into the UK charts and proving their debut was really worth it!

This is a near-perfect album, drenched with urgency from beginning to end, just beautiful and unforgetable! I loved each second of it, and they managed their way to my 2005 'Best Album Selection'. A must buy, indeed... and if you can get your hands into their "Cuttings EP" of "The Back Room" UK 2-disc release, don't hesitate, you'll love every single extra song. I got my self hooked on 'Forest Fire', it's simply beautiful!
