Life is a joke in candlelight (detail)

 


From a rehearsal room in the middle of a heatwave, here's about 40 seconds of a brand new Editors song. The caption that accompanies this burst of almost ambient joy reads "Life's a joke in candlelight". It's unclear if this is in fact an actual title, or just another grumpy proclamation  from a band with a certain notoriety for being a little...sad at times. 

What we do know from watching and listening to this is that, along with the recently released Call It In, at least two songs on the new Editors record are going to be faster numbers. We can also see that Nic Willes is taking an active role in the rehearsals, which you would assume to mean that he is once again a touring Editor. 

As I mentioned above, these was a heatwave in the UK when this was filmed as evidenced by a barefoot and fancy-free Mr Smith. I guarantee you that if he set up an OnlyFans account called "Forlorn Feet" and posted nothing but his trotters all day long, he could manifest generational wealth. With, of course, 50% of the profits coming my way (it was my idea, after all). 

Enjoy the tease ;)
