In music, much like many things in life, appreciation comes with time. Last spring, when Editors and Mobius Band toured together, a line existed between them. Fortunately, they had music in common, so Editors swam through the collection of Mobius Band and vice versa. By the end of touring the groups had built a strong friendship, and with many listens of MB's latest album Heaven still ringing in their ears, the superbly-influential Editors decided to endorse the New England group in the motherland.
Editors last album, An End Has A Start, hit stores in 2007 and made went platinum shortly thereafter. They have been recording for a new album for the past month, which should release this year, although their European tour over the summer might delay a launch date being announced.

Mobius Band, who claims their music full of "pop hooks grounded in experimentation, subtle musicianship, and a taste for ruminative lyrics", have set forth their own cover of some sultry (and free) songs for Valentine's Day. To download the whole EP, go here.
