Editors have announced details of their eighth studio album, Surface, Echo & Sound, set for release via Play It Again Sam on 30th October 2026.
Following on from 2022's EBM, a collaboration with electronic producer Benjamin John Power, aka Blanck Mass, on Surface, Echo & Sound, Editors have found themselves somewhere new entirely. When the band regrouped in summer 2025 to work on a follow-up, after three albums written and recorded very much as in-the-studio projects, Editors felt they wanted to go back to a more natural approach, something that harked back to their earliest days, sat in a practice room in Stafford, facing each other as they worked through songs together.
Like on last year's solo record There Is Nothing in the Dark That Isn't There in the Light, frontman Tom Smith took a similar stripped back, acoustic-based approach to the new Editors material, bringing a selection of songs to the band for them to play together, trying different things out, and seeing where they went. In terms of creating the record, "It was a very productive summer," says Smith. "The sun was out for the most part, we were in greenest Gloucestershire, not far from where I live, on this innocuous little industrial estate - it was pretty much the opposite of being in Berghain!"
Due out on October 30th 2026
