EBM: Limited Orange Vinyl 2LP

Editors have always defied expectations. Emerging in the early 2000s as university friends from Birmingham, they were caught up in the indie wave but had little in common with other groups. After their 2005 Mercury Prize - shortlisted debut The Back Room and 2007 #1 follow - up An End Has A Start, they bravely switched to synths. As frontman Tom Smith says, that was their first act of courage, and they've been taking risks ever since. Guitarist Justin Lockey agrees that they often do something different after a well - liked album. Their seventh album, EBM, is a huge step forward. It's their most off - the - wall material yet, a thrilling, non - stop blast of electro - industrial rock. Benjamin John Power (Blanck Mass) co - produced the album and joined the band. It might seem an odd pairing, but Editors' evolution makes sense as they've toured with The Cure and are used to sharing bills with harder acts in European festivals. EBM is mostly about maximalism. The lead single 'Heart Attack' is a twinkling rock ballad with a dark undercurrent and great metallic riffs. 'Educate' has a symphonic scope as Tom rants about modern uncertainties. 'Strawberry Lemonade' has punchy drums, and the album closer 'Strange Intimacy' is ambitious, ending with an eight - minute techno journey.

To enjoy this limited orange vinyl 2LP, first, make sure your record player is in good working condition. Clean the vinyl gently with a record cleaning brush before each play to keep the sound quality high. When placing the vinyl on the turntable, handle it by the edges to avoid fingerprints. After playing, return the vinyl to its sleeve carefully to prevent scratches. Store the LP in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its color and condition. Don't stack heavy objects on top of it, as this can warp the vinyl. Just sit back, relax, and let the unique electro - industrial rock sounds of Editors' EBM wash over you.
