Editors release their first new music in four years with the single, ‘A Ton Of Love’ on 17th June. Taken from their fourth studio album, ‘The Weight Of Your Love’, which follows on July 1st, the track has already been praised by Q as a ‘soaring, Bunnymen influenced anthem’ whilst Fake DIY stated ‘this is the biggest and fullest Editors have sounded and opens up a world of possibilities for their forthcoming album’. The single premiered on Zane Lowe’s Radio One show as his Hottest Record In The World on Monday 6th May and was immediately a hit with his listeners, gaining a second play that night.
