It was certainly a relief to hear the end of Editors latest offering Papillon.
Once an innovative band with a clear, unique style, Editors are now on a slippery slope to obscurity with such releases.
So far from the glory days of The Back Room, the band have definitely lost their way with this single release. On first hearing, the track sounds exciting, with an infectious keyboard techno loop but it goes nowhere and lacks any sort of direction. What's gone wrong?
For a band that have mastered that techno rock song, this really was a let down from this rare talent. The band's vocalist, Tom Smith's dreary, mournful vocals are now being reflected in the band's music style. A very drab and average track.
