Claude says:Violence arrived in March 2018, Editors' sixth album, co-produced with electronic artist Blanck Mass (of Fuck Buttons) alongside Leo Abrahams — sessions that were so productive they spawned a companion album the following year. Tom Smith described it as the band's best-yet balance between brutal electronics and guitar-driven band muscle, a push-pull they'd been working toward across a decade. You grabbed it right away in April 2018 and kept "Cold" and "Violence" in regular play through the first year, continuing sporadically since — the aching march of "No Sound but the Wind" (re-recorded here after its 2009 Twilight soundtrack appearance) still finds its way into your listening.
