The Editors
Thursday, October 20, 2005
Another Interpol rip off band? Yes and no, the Editors on their debut cd "The Back Room" do a bit of borrowing to say the least. The 1st track Lights sounds like it came straight from "Turn On The Bright Lights" down to the tense talking/singing of vocals. The guitars have that echo sound, not to be confused with Echo but that hollow, clean sound and anxious jangle. Track 2 Munich starts to separate the bands. You still have the guitar start and stop jangle and Paul Banksesque vocals but there is something else that draws my attention. By track 3 Blood you have a bit of electronic in there that catches my attention. This song is very good, the hints of the keyboard mixed with the guitar bring on the sound of the British shoegazing era. Track 5 All Sparks solidifys the Editors as a Brit Rock band, all the elements are there and done so well. Track 9 Someone Saw You dives deep into the haunting edge sound of Joy Division but with more of an upbeat. The drums beat faster and you get the head bobbing and catching chorus. I was on the fence with these guys for a while, I just lumped them in the pile with the rest of the crap that has been coming out this year. I am glad that I pulled it out again, it can stand on its own and deserves a fair listen.
