Another new Editors song

It's the title-track to Editors new album An End Has a Start and it's quite good! Head on over to Deaf Indie Elephant to get an mp3 of it. It's a bit more propulsive than first single "Smokers..."

NOTE: the video above is not the official promo-video for the song, merely a compilation of other artists videos.

New York's LEVY has returned! The new album, Glorious, is out this September on One Little Indian. Here's an mp3 of the great title-track, which is the first single:

Vid: Moz covers Bowie

I was delighted to recently-read that Moz is again covering David Bowie's "Drive-In Saturday" live! Video above is Moz doing the song in NYC 2000.

Vid: new Moz song

Here's the new song Moz has been playing on the current tour, "All You Need Is Me." Sadly it's not very good. It suffers from the same problem that afflicted some of ROTT, there isn't a very good vocal melody and the music is bland bland bland (I'll assume it was written by Jesse?)

mp3: new Editors single

Here's a radio-rip of the new Editors single! The lyrics are a little hokey, but other than that it's a big brooding ballad like I love them for. Their 2nd album An End Has A Start is released in the UK & mainland Europe on June 25th. A US release date is yet to be announced.

• "Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors" [4:40]

I like it better than the new Interpol single, though that song's not bad.
