Cagedbaby edit Editors (ie do a remix) and it is very good indeed

If it's good enough for terminal snooze-maestros Snow Patrol (on most recent single 'Just Say Yes'), then it is good enough for every other nearly-forgotten indie band out there. We are talking about going electronic and in this instance, we're talking about Editors.

After the success of their debut album, Editors seemed to slip away after their second record, but their last single 'Papillion' was of exceptionally high quality, and having gotten Cagedbaby in to remix their new single 'You Don't Know Love', they have stepped well and truly out of the dready indie band stereotype with a dark, menacing slice of electro-pop which far and away outstrips the original of the song.

Cagedbaby has turned 'You Don't Know Love' into something akin to a modern-day Joy Division track, with Tom Smith's distinctive vocals adding just enough doom and gloom to keep this on this on the right side of their indie roots.

It is just a shame Editors didn't have the balls to go all the way with this and lead with this amazing remix for the single's release. It may not have seen them claw back the success they saw with 'Munich' or 'Blood' but it would have done gained even more approving nods that just relegating Cagedbaby's reworking to the b-side.

And here's the original - which is not as good but far from dreadful.

Editors 'You Don't Know Love'

The single is released on January 25. Which we should probably mention in exchange for the MP3 :)
