Editors have confirmed that they have begun recording tracks for their new album, and are hard at work in Ireland with U2 producer Jacknife Lee. They're planning to eat mince pies over Christmas, though. They are. Mmmm. Mince pies.
The band's Tom Smith said: "The album won't be finished before Christmas but the break will give us chance to see our families, eat mince pies, get drunk and say hi to Santa, then maybe some more writing before we start recording again in the New Year."
