handheldcinéclub ( consisting of Justin Lockey – yourcodenameis:milo – and his younger brother ) have recently posted two videos ‘ FILM I ‘ & ‘ FILM II’ on there Facebook page, the videos show The Editors recording, and performing with some abstract music being played over the top. On closer inspection, we see Justin playing along with them. Is Justin joining up with The Editors? Or just recording some sessions?

It would be quite an unexpected move, but one we would love to hear the results of.

The Editors’ own variation of dark indie guitar rock draws on influences from both older and contemporary bands. Their influences include Echo & the Bunnymen, Joy Division, The Strokes, The Walkmen, Elbow and R.E.M. The band draw their musical style particularly from the latter two bands’ debut albums Murmur andAsleep in the Back. While often compared to Joy Division and Echo and the Bunnymen by the media, the band commented that those bands are too old to have a major impact on their musical style. Upon Editors’ first appearances in the British music scene, they were also heavily compared to American indie band Interpol.
