Editors: BeatCrave Fav
By Brian McConnell
At first listen, the vocals of Editors’ front man, Tom Smith, are so lazy and deep it’s nearly infuriating. After some serious dedication, however, the vocals and the music of this band of Birmingham boys starts to infect your ears and then your very skin to the point where you almost crave their sound. It’s a bizarre thing, that loathing turned into love, and, if not for their recent addition the the New Moon soundtrack, may have never gotten the attention they deserve.
They’ve been making addicts of many a listener for the better half of a decade and, with the recent, “In This Light on This Evening” are showing that they’ve got an unquantifiable amount of talent for many years to come. For their uncanny ability to be so darn good that you may want to hate them but soon discover you simply… can’t, we at BeatCrave are happy to add them to our BeatCrave Fav Series.
