British band Editors have announced the release of a new album, EBM, which will be out on September 23 via [PIAS]. They have also announced a tour in support of the album, and have shared a live video for a new album single, “Karma Climb.” View the Hand Held Cine Club-directed video below, along with the album’s tracklist/cover art and a full list of tour dates.

EBM will be Editors’ first album since Blanck Mass (aka Benjamin John Power) joined the band. In a press release, frontman Tom Smith states: “Ben has certainly been a shot of adrenaline in our creative process. The songs are so immediate and in your face.”

Regarding the new single, Smith adds: “It’s about hedonistic escapism, not only from the world generally, but also from what people think of you.”

Upon announcement of Blanck Mass joining the band in April, they shared the album track “Heart Attack.”

Editors’ last studio album, Violence, was released back in March 2018 via [PIAS]. Read our interview with Tom Smith on Violence.
