I love meeting new people. I really do. For one reason: new music. Is it bad that I pimp the new people in my life for good music? I don't think so. Anyway, met some cool folks this past weekend in Dallas that turned me onto a great new band called The Editors. Check out their bio on the newly re-formed Kitchenware Records (prior home to my favorite dream poppers Prefab Sprout). Anyway, these guys are wonderful. Hailing from various corners of the UK, The Editors settled in Birmingham in the autumn of 2003. Drawing on their love of literate bands such as early REM, Echo and the Bunnymen, Elbow and Doves, The Editors honed an identifiably English sound focused on the grand themes of love, loss and redemption. For your listening (dis)pleasure:
