Post Description

In This Light and on This Evening is the third studio album from British band Editors. It was released on 12 October 2009. The band had said the material would have a more raw and anthemic sound compared to their previous work.[11]  The first single was "Papillon".  The second single from the album was "You Don"t Know Love" which was released on the 25 January 2010. The Third single, "Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool", is due to be released on the 24 May.

The album features a bonus extended play of five songs, called Cuttings 2.

Tom Smith explained the band"s change in direction by saying: "If we"d tried to make another more traditional guitar record, I don"t think we"d have got through it... for our own sanity, we had to do something we hadn"t done before."[14] He also revealed that the heavily synthesised and industrial feel of the album had evolved in a recording session that took place in 2008, before they settled on Flood as a producer. Bassist Russell Leetch said the experience of working with Flood had been "the most fun we"ve ever had in a studio" and hinted that the band would be likely to work with him again. Smith"s home city of London dominates the album, both lyrically and musically. He said: ""I actually think it"s in every song. In the right time and place, in the right light and on the right evening, something you have seen 1,000 times before can still take your breath away whilst the background of electronic whirrs and hums that run under many of the tracks mimic the constant background noise of the city."

Following its release, the album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. The album also charted at number 27 on the Greek Albums Chart.
