Editors Stream New Track 'The Sting'

Editors release their first new music in four years with the single, ‘A Ton Of Love’ on June 17. Taken from their fourth studio album, ‘The Weight Of Your Love’, which follows on July 1, the single premiered on Zane Lowe’s Radio One show as his Hottest Record In The World last month and was immediately a hit with his listeners, gaining a second play that night.

‘A Ton Of Love’ represents the first fruits of a new direction for the band following their parting with founding member, guitarist Chris Urbanowicz. Recorded along with the rest of ‘The Weight Of Your Love’ in Nashville with producer Jacquire King, known for his work with Tom Waits, Of Monsters And Men and Kings Of Leon amongst others. Recorded at Blackbird Studio, the band drew on their love of the likes of REM, Springsteen and numerous classic rock records, the album sees Editors return to a guitar fronted sound following their experimentation with electronic and synthesised sounds on 2009’s UK Number One ‘In This Light And On This Evening’.

‘A Ton Of Love’ is released on 7” by Play It Again Sam. Both 7” and bundle feature live favourite ‘The Sting’ - which can be heard below - and the album’s lead track, ‘The Weight’ features on the digital bundle. Formats are:

7” – ‘A Ton Of Love’ / ‘The Sting’
Bundle – ‘A Ton Of Love’ / ‘The Weight’ / ‘The Sting’
