Editors - Frankenstein

Editors have unveiled anthem-in-waiting ‘Frankenstein’ The kinetically crackling track, described by frontman Tom Smith as “a song of joy and escapism - a cartoon song for the freaks, the different and for the night”, comes ahead of a summer filled with festival performances across Europe, and sees the band continue their dazzlingly prolific, recent creative streak.

Frankenstein is a bold, unabashed embrace of the electronic extremes of the band’s palette. With its eerie intro, 4x4 beat and dramatic, distorted vocals, it explodes into the kind of massive chorus Editors have become synonymous with since they burst onto the scene in 2005. A call to the dancefloor, frontman Tom Smith’s refrain of “it goes off” couldn’t be more fitting.
