Two 5 minute video interviews up next, from Spanish music site Fly Music TV. We find the band in fine form in video 1, filmed backstage at the Summercase Festival in 2007. The second interview is with Ed and Russell backstage at an unknown venue, also in 2007. If you're interested, their set at Summercase is available to check out at another post here at the Archive by clicking here.
Apologies up front for the quality of the clips but this is exactly how they were streamed at the time of broadcast. It's a little rough around the edges. You just have to ask yourself if you can still find love in your cold, dark heart for some shabby Editors goodies? Read on...
Interestingly, a recurring theme throughout both clips is of the band wanting to try something different when they recorded An End Has A Start. New instruments, new sounds but same Editors. This was, of course, particularly relevant to the situation they found themselves in two years later when In This Light And On This Evening came out and people got knocked sideways by the electronic feel to it. New instruments, new sounds but same Editors.
There's some interesting trivia accompanying these videos, because Fly Music TV closed forever just one year later in 2008. What replaced it? The Disney Channel. Weird. Enjoy the chatter ;)
