Replacing Chris Urbanowicz\u2019s energetic lead guitar with soft acoustic strumming, gentle piano and melancholy strings, the\u00a0&#8216;Distance&#8217;\u00a0version is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that retains the emotional intensity at the core of the original, with\u00a0Tom Smith\u2019s inimitable vocals soaring above the sensuous arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remembering the creation of the original, Smith explains: \u201c<em>I remember looking out the back of a van on tour somewhere in England, and saw a group of smokers outside a hospital. I wrote down the observation my notebook. Then later, coming to write songs, there were a few things going on in my life, people around me getting poorly \u2013 older people \u2013 for the first time. So a lot of the songs were fixated on mortality. And to have that title on this big, grand indie-rock song and have that land in the Top Ten, was interesting<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From their Mercury Prize shortlisted debut\u00a0&#8216;The Back Room,&#8217; to platinum selling\u00a0&#8216;An End Has A Start,&#8217; #1 debuting\u00a0&#8216;In This Light\u00a0and\u00a0On This Evening,&#8217; sprawling, transitional\u00a0&#8216;The Weight of Your Love,&#8217; moody, self-produced\u00a0&#8216;In Dream&#8217;\u00a0and their 6th top 10 album in a row, 2018\u2019s explosive\u00a0&#8216;Violence,&#8217; Editors have refused to either stay still or compromise. This is perhaps the key to their longevity. It also no doubt also owes something to a hugely dedicated fanbase, both home and abroad, which sees them regularly performing sold out tours across the UK, Europe and further afield, as well as headlining festivals ahead of many more household names, such as 2018\u2019s Werchter Classic Festival in Belgium, which they headlined and curated with Kraftwerk and The National supporting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Black Gold&#8217;<strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is a chance to reflect on the past 15 years, but it also offers a glimpse into a very exciting future for one of the UK\u2019s most enduring bands.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Track listing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disc 1<br>1.
