EBM by Editors
EBM is an album by Editors, released in 2022. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Heart Attack”, on 1 list with a best position of #39.
EBM, Editors' seventh album, arrived on 23 September 2022, and the title is a double pun: it stands for Editors plus Blanck Mass, the alias of Benjamin John Power, who had helped produce 2018's Violence and now joined full-time, and for electronic body music, the clanking, sweat-soaked dance genre the record plunders. The Birmingham band always had a gloomy streak; here they point it at the strobe lights.
Tom Smith's voice rides over pounding industrial beats and chrome-plated synth-pop, with Russell Leetch, Ed Lay, Justin Lockey and Elliott Williams pushing the machinery hard. "Heart Attack" and "Karma Climb" hit like a warehouse rave with a new wave heart, and "Picturesque" snarls. It stands alone in their catalog as the only album with Power as a full member; he left in 2025.
