Four years on since their last album, 2022’s EBM, indie rockers Editors return with frantic new single ‘Call It In’.
A throwback to their earlier output (meaning more emphasis on guitars than synths), ‘Call It In’ is another emotive guitar-driven track from the five-piece that arrives after frontman Tom Smith released his 2025 debut solo album, There Is Nothing In The Dark That Isn’t There In The Light.
“We spent a lot of summer ‘25 holed up in rural Gloucestershire, working on songs with all of us in a room, in a more traditional band set up,” Smith said in a press release.
“‘Call It In’ is one of the newest songs we worked on, it’s a song about asking for help, really, in the presence of an existential dread, finding solace and comfort in someone close, escaping the deafening noise of modern life.”
Editors have also announced they are hitting the road for a run of shows across the UK and Europe from January to March 2027. Find out all the details here.
Rising to fame during the UK indie blitz of the early 00’s, Editors have released seven albums over the past two decades, with all seven cracking the UK Albums Chart top 10 and two making it all the way to number one – 2007’s An End Has a Start and 2009’s In This Light and In This Evening.
Beloved in the UK and across Europe, Editors’ sound over the years has flirted between indie guitar music and New Order-type synth pop, with ‘Call It In’ the first taste of what to expect from their next album.
‘Call It In’ by Editors is out now via Play It Again Sam. Listen here.
