Is there still room in the music world for Editors? The band latched onto the post-punk revival that was sparked by Franz Ferdinand earlier this decade, but never reached the same lofty peaks as their peers. Their new album, In This Light and On This Evening, is set for release on Oct. 12.
This version of “Papillon” is another Interpol-lite workout that doesn’t suggest there will be many surprises on the new record. Singer Tom Smith is still trying to channel Ian Curtis while some loud, bloated synths provide distinctly unsatisfactory backing. If Coldplay are a diluted Radiohead, Editors have performed the same trick on the Joy Division back catalog.
