Premiered last night (January 15) on Jo Whiley’s BBC Radio Two show, Editors share the video for new single ‘Magazine’.

The track comes from the band's forthcoming album ‘Violence’ - their first in three years - which will be released on March 9 via PIAS.

The video to ‘Magazine’ -  “a pointed finger aimed at those in power… some corrupt politician or businessman… a character, and a tongue in cheek poke at the empty posturing and playing to the masses of the power hungry" - was filmed in Amsterdam by photographer and director Rahi Rezvani.

Editors have also announced three intimate album launch shows in venues they’ve never previously played:

March
04 Birmingham, Town Hall
05 Manchester, Cathedral
06 London, Clapham Grand

Pre-sale tickets go on sale Thursday (January 18) at 9am, with general sale tickets following on Friday (January 19) at 9am. Pre-sales are available to fans who pre-order the album through the band's website.
