In This Light and on This Evening by Editors
In This Light and on This Evening is an album by Editors, released in 2009. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 16 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Papillon”, on 16 lists with a best position of #10.
In This Light and on This Evening, the third album from Birmingham's Editors, came out on Kitchenware on 12 October 2009, with Flood producing. The band had promised something rawer and more anthemic, and what they delivered was a plunge into dark wave and synth-pop, all cold synthesizers and glowering electronic pulses.
"Papillon" was the first single and the big one, a thundering, strobe-lit rush that sounds built for a warehouse at 2 a.m. "You Don't Know Love" followed in January, and the gloriously titled "Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool" in May. The album also came with a bonus EP of five songs, Cuttings II. It went to number one in Britain, and it turned out to be the last Editors record with lead guitarist Chris Urbanowicz, who left the band in April 2012.
