Editors - In this Light and on This Evening (2009)

What a nice surprise I had when I listened to Editors most recent album (released on November 2009), it's just full of good songs and a mixture between Joy Division, The Cure and Bauhaus, a little more optimistic on some songs like "Bricks and Mortar", "Papillon" (not a lot with the lyrics) and "You don't know me", excellent set of songs to open this album (I didn't like a lot the opener track, but it's just ok).

"Papillon", their new single is so catchy that could even sound on a nice club and make people dance, it was on my mind the whole week it is definitely a nice twist in Editors sound.

"You don't know love" sounds so 80s, but it's terrific!!!, I think this should be their next single, it's a time travel. Another great tune is "Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool", not so in the Editors style, a little bit of experimentation here, but good enough to fit on this great album.

Nice, catchy, danceable and a little bit dark, this album has it all!!, my second suprise of this year (first one is Broken Bells debut album, I will review that later, the relese is on March 12 I think) give it a listen, you won't regret.
