Hard to believe, but it’s been 20 years since Editors first swept into view with their debut album The Back Room. And in that time we’ve been treated to two Smith & Burrows LPs – 2011’s Funny Looking Angels and Only Smith & Burrows Is Good Enough in 2021.


Following the collision of crunching electronica and sky-scraping rock on Editors’ last album, 2022’s EBM, Smith had a wealth of songs, ideas, and threads which he wanted to land a little closer to those more intimate moments of inspiration.

Initially, he tried them out with long-time friend and collaborator Andy Burrows, before realising that this was a collection of songs that he needed to see through to fruition himself.

“I put a lot of work into it, but it became apparent that – perhaps selfishly – I needed to be less collaborative” Smith recalls. “I could feel an album brewing, and I wanted it to be more representative of those early ideas that I write. One day I just came to a decision and said: Andy, I love you, man, but it’s not the right time for me to make another Smith & Burrows record”.
