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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike on last year’s solo record \u003ci\u003eThere is Nothing In The Dark That Isn’t There In The Light\u003c\/i\u003e, 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, \u003ci\u003e“It was a very productive summer,”\u003c\/i\u003e says Smith. \u003ci\u003e“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!”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurface, Echo \u0026amp; Sound is available on LP, CD \u0026amp; Digital via Play It Again Sam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlack Vinyl LP\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1LP pressed on black vinyl housed in 3mm spined outer sleeve.
