The band had hinted that some big announcements were coming in March of next year, it looks like they're going to start messing with our heads even earlier. This short film of the band performing live captured by Mr Rahi Rezvani, and with a soundtrack of what appears to be a recorded take of Hallelujah (So Low), arrived online this morning. If you thought that the song sounded big when they played at recent shows, something very peculiar has happened. The general rule in the past has been that Editors' music always seem bigger and more expansive when you hear it live. Weirdly, this turns that theory on its head. It's sounding massive. Could this be the first time in the band's history that the ideas captured in the studio have more weight and depth than their live cousins?
There's an indication that there will be some live shows in March and April of next year, which means that even as the curtain falls on the campaign for In Dream tonight in their final gig of the year, they're already planning way in advance for the next promotional cycle. Hopefully, this may not be the lengthy disappearing act that we all feared. Now there's just the small matter of that standalone release that our insider source hinted at (cough)EdiBow(cough). Fun times to be a fan, and to everyone attending the AB gig tonight, have an amazing time and bring back stories for the rest of us.
brought to you with lots and lots of lemming-love :) x
