The 2018 reissue of In This Light and on This Evening revisits Editors’ bold and transformative third studio album, originally released in 2009. This special edition celebrates the record’s adventurous departure from the band’s guitar-driven roots, diving deep into the dark, synth-heavy landscapes that redefined their sound.

Set against the backdrop of a gritty, nocturnal London, the album explores themes of alienation, transience, and modern disconnection. Tracks like the pulsating “Papillon,” the haunting title track “In This Light and on This Evening,” and the brooding “You Don’t Know Love” showcase Editors’ embrace of industrial rhythms, atmospheric textures, and cinematic grandeur.

Praised for its ambition and emotional resonance, In This Light and on This Evening stands as a daring chapter in Editors’ discography. The 2018 reissue reaffirms the album’s status as a landmark release, inviting both new listeners and longtime fans to experience its haunting beauty in a new light.
