Editors have warned fans they will be "surprised" by their next album.

The 'Sparks' rockers claim their sci-fi inspired third record, 'In This Light and On This Evening' is a radical departure from their previous two albums.

Frontman Tom Smith said: "It is very different from previous Editors records, there are things it has in common with a couple of songs from the first album.

There's quite a groove on the record and I think that comes across well live.

"But I see both those records as a progression from the last. This one isn't."

The band have experimented with synthesisers on the record, but Tom insists it will be different from other electronic albums.

He added to Music Week magazine: "Most of it was recorded live even though it's a lot more electronic.

"It sounds like us trying to tame these machines and hopefully it doesn't sound clinical and emotionless like a lot of electronic records do. Hopefully it's warm and breathing."

Bassist Russell Leetch added: "There's quite a groove on the record and I think that comes across well live."
