Papillon

Filed in: music

This is the first song from the Editors' new album, In This Light And On This Evening.

It is very reminiscent of Joy Division. You could be mistaken for thinking it was a long lost single that had been recorded before Ian Curtis' death. But that is no bad thing at all, and this is already my favourite single of the year. It has the wonderful line:

"If there really was a god here, he'd have raised a hand by now."

I'm going to see them next week in Sheffield and can't wait to see what they're like live.

You can see the video here.

Good summer reading, very much in the mould of The Da Vinci Code (but better writing). Another search for the grail and another wierd and secretive religous group.
