There was no prologue to Editors’ concert at Troxy last night. No nostalgic mashup of hits in the background as musicians found their place on stage. In a newly minted line-up with Ivor Novello-winner Benjamin John Power, the band erupted into the room with a thunderous new sound that ripped right through the hum of audience anticipation.
It was the sound of electronic body music and Editor’s latest album, EBM, their seventh. Released back in October, the name packs two acronyms into one, not just the genre of music but also nodding to the fruitful partnership between Editors and Blanck Mass (a moniker for Power, formerly one half of the band Fuck Buttons).
