Editors frontman Tom Smith has been discussing his band’s forthcoming third album, and revealed that he has been using the theme to the Terminator movie as an inspiration.
The gothic-indie group combine a flair for cinematic sound with incredible stage presence, and have found some measure of success in the United States recently as a result. Tom Smith has had a wonderful year, with the success of the band matched by the successful pregnancy of wife (and Clash Magazine columnist) Edith Bowman.
Tom Smith was interviewed by BBC 6Music when he revealed details about the new album. “There’s kind of a real electronic sheen to it. A lot of it to me sounds like it could soundtrack Bladerunner, and we’ve been listening to the Terminator theme quite a lot as well.”
“We keep referencing that, but at the moment we’re just trying as many different things as we can.”
He added: “In one of the demo sessions we had a choir of children come along and sing at the end of one of these songs.”
According to Smith the group will wait until February to work with a producer.
