truth to some cliches compact cars are often a turnoff for men. and certain brands do do better with women even if that may not be the result of anything intentional. acts that and the kids and folks fogging develops its cars based on what customers in general want not what men or women or what big and small people prefer. people's fine decisions reflect the needs they have at certain points in their lives. both sexes are demanding when it comes to automotive quality and safety. no one knows what the car the future will look like. id vision comes without a steering wheel it's operated by gestures and spoken commands it's projected to hit the market by twenty thirty. whether you're a man or woman a child or a grandparent everyone will come together automotive life will be completely

and this is reflected in the new single magazine. still. the sound of editors in twenty. six to life is. the first single off the british pension new album violence sits the channel it's called magazine and it's about the famous people will do for power. but kept coming back to this idea of the characters in these songs if that kind of love is in the relationship or father to his son or friends. that kind of coming back to this kind of need need for human interaction and human connection was focused on a lot in the song and it was all of this kind of as

a means of escape from. the outside while the violent. editors have always been known for downbeat lyrics but on their new release they've used more electro pop beats then ever before still the loud guitars haven't been completely shelved. now like her studio we just kind of working on different atmospheres and some will in the corner do something can never go. into it and that will lead the way the song. editors will be taking their new album on tour starting in march we like touring for being in the studio and the reason we keep going back is because that energy and connection and. that process is still exciting frogman tom smith spare its own voices unmistakable.
