From U2 to R.E.M. to Interpol and Joy Division, Editors has received many comparisons over the past (almost) 20 years, all of them equally deserved. If we look at the most listened tracks, we quickly realize the range of nuances: rounded synthpop, electronica rock, softened post-punk, the band brings its unique touch to defined styles. With their latest single Heart Attack and a new member – Benjamin John Power aka Blanck Mass, a long-time friend of the others – Editors seems to be on a roll again. And us with them.
12 years already that The KVB regale us with their electro-coldwave done to perfection. On a background of throbbing synths, the London duo stands out with its punk resonances and its contagious coldness, revealing the ills of our century. A coldness, certainly, but carried with elegance and depth by the two maestros at the helm Klaus & Kat, for a very exquisite opening night before Editors.
