Editors have shared their first taste of new music.

Call It In - which is out now via Play It Again Sam - marks the band’s first new music since 2022’s studio album EBM and came from studio sessions in between Tom Smith’s debut solo record There Is Nothing In The Dark That Isn’t There In The Light and ongoing live dates.

On the single, frontman Tom Smith has said, "We spent a lot of summer ‘25 holed up in rural Gloucestershire, working on songs with all of us in a room, in a more traditional band set up. Call It In is one of the newest songs we worked on, it’s a song about asking for help, really, in the presence of an existential dread, finding solace and comfort in someone close, escaping the deafening noise of modern life."

Watch the official video for their single, which is directed by the band's guitarist Justin Lockey below:
