Because of the lack of touring activity, Mr Smith has officially overtaken the band's official Instagram account in terms of output this month. There's shots from the rehearsal room, as well as another "Tosser" insult for his bandmates. So rude, sir. So very, very rude. There's also a few more outdoor shots of what is possibly the Oxfordshire countryside which prove the theory that, once again, black and white photography makes everything look so much more awesome. They're really atmospheric.
The biggest revelation this month came in the form of a perfectly posed photograph of Mr Lockey in front of a white board, a shiny surface that contained potential titles of upcoming Editors' songs. Additionally, there was another Instagram "story" video which has Mr Lockey shredding some notes in a way that seems to hark back to the band's earlier sound on albums 1 and 2. Or maybe it doesn't. Also visible on the whiteboard next to Justin are "Sketches 1 - 6" and "Justin's Sketches". I would assume that these are ideas and fragments that he's come up with that may evolve beyond their infancy, or may not. One thing that is becoming more apparent the longer that Justin is a member of this band is that he's clearly musically prolific, and obviously has skills beyond just playing the guitar. He is, after all, still composing and playing in Minor Victories in addition to his duties as an Editor. It's a far cry from his baptism of fire at Werchter in 2012 where he was possibly (and if so, unfairly) viewed as just one of two stand-ins for Chris. There's more to Mr Lockey than meets the eye, for sure.
Mr Williams also posted a couple of vine videos of some drumming and some piano playing, which I've included in the Bonus Materials section of the zip file below.

Next month will be an end of year collection where I post all the snaps and videos from December, as well as every other month this year. Enjoy the pictures, and stay warm out there ;)
