Editors front-person, Tom Smith debut solo album, There Is Nothing In The Dark Which Isn’t There In The Light.
Hard to believe, but it’s been 20 years since Editors first swept into view with their debut album The Back Room. And while 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 – until now, frontman Tom Smith has never stepped outside the collaborative environment of a band and made a record that really distils the essence of his songs as they come to him.
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.
Smith took his songs instead to producer Iain Archer, whom he’d previously worked with on Peter Buck and Gary Lightbody’s Tired Pony project. The first day at Archer’s Brighton studio, they cut what would become the Rosetta Stone for There Is Nothing In The Dark That Isn’t There In The Light.
It’s typical of the creative partnership Smith and Archer developed in the studio together, nudging, pulling and leading the songs in different directions until they found their natural home.
Smith notes that while it wasn’t necessarily intentional, the juncture he currently finds himself at as a musician, husband, and father often infused what he was writing with a sense of looking back, of capturing fleeting moments from the past in songs.
Smith might self-deprecatingly refer to the “sad romance” and “miserable hope” within these songs, but as Saturday’s nighttime fades out, you’re ultimately left with a feeling of hope, of the strength we can find in one another, and the fact that when the darkness does finally recede, the light reveals what’s always been there.
