Alkalmi szupergrupp-duóvá állt össze egy furcsa pár: az Editors -frontember Tom Smith és a Razorlight dobosából dalszerző-eladóvá avanzsáló Andy Burrows , aki saját neve alatt ( The Colour Of My Dreams – 2008) és I Am Arrows nevű projektjével is megjelentetett már egy-egy[...] Bővebben!Tovább »
We’re very excited to announce the collaboration album from Smith & Burrows aka Tom Smith from Editors and Andy Burrows from I Am Arrows/We Are Scientists/Razorlight. Their album, Funny Looking Angels is released on November 28th. Visit www.smithandburrows.co.uk for your first taste of the album.
What started as two friends popping into each other’s houses and then home studios, putting down an idea here and a melody there, developed into a set of songs with a Christmas theme, then a theoretical album, then a real album with a release date and a title. 'Funny Looking Angels' includes original songs from both Tom and Andy but also features a selection of covers.The eclectic choice includes Yazoo’s ‘Only You’, Black’s ‘Wonderful Life’ and a closing track which features guest vocal from rising star Agnes Obel, in a duet with Tom singing a sumptuous version of ‘The Christmas Song’.
We’ll have plenty more news in the coming weeks, so click the links below to follow Smith & Burrows on their and Twitter pages.

Another year races towards its end and Editors are a hive of activity. It won’t be long until we’re together again as a band rehearsing the first ideas for album 4. Obviously it’s a big task but we have songs now and the wheels are well and truly in motion. The idea is to record in stages over 2011 but first things must come first and we need to get into a room together and play, see where the ideas take us. These are exciting times and we’re all looking forward to taking our relationship with Mr Flood further… first rehearsals start in a matter of days.
But it’s not all about the future right now. We’ve been picking through the archive recently, looking back at our 3 records, many many b-sides and some material that has never seen the light of day. It’s been addictive. We can’t leave it alone, much like picking a scab, and we’ve decided to package it all together and share it with our fans, officially. We’ve raided the vaults, searched through old CD-Rs, cassettes and photo albums and gathered it all together. We’d like you to have this music on any and every format we can produce and also share some photos and memories of the last 6 years in a volume that you can keep forever.
So that’s what we’ve done; coming in Feb 2011 is Editors, the complete collection. Unedited, if you like. Seven 12” heavy weight vinyls, seven CD’s, a download of everything in high quality 320kbps mp3 format and a book of photos and words. It’s gonna be sexy.
Hope you’re all keeping well,
Tom xxx

Nagyon jó buli volt a tegnapi grazi, szerencsére nem voltak enerváltak a zágrábi kései koncertkezdés miatt. Az előzetesen meghirdetett 2 előzkar helyett csak 1 volt, az Iliketrains vmiért lemaradt; így 1/2 óra jutott az Airshipnek, aztán pontban 9-kor Színpadon az Editors, mely a szokásos setlistel 90 percet játszott e kellemes koncerthelyszínen, alaposan felpörgetve az osztrákokat. ;)
