Editors 'promise new songs in 2010'

Editors have announced plans to release new songs this summer.

Frontman Tom Smith revealed that the 'Papillon' rockers have recently been in the studio to complete a number of unfinished tracks.

He told Absolute Radio: "[There is] severe, severe danger of Editors [releasing] new material... we've just been in the studio because we had a couple of songs left over from... not left over, that makes them sound second-rate, we didn't quite get them right so we left them until later.

"We've been having a go at them and they're really good, so maybe they'll come out before... or maybe we'll start playing them before, at least before the summer or by the summer."
