   Well not only are the Editors indulging in the retrospective guitar sounds with eyes on the Cure & co., but so do many other current bands, especially from the USA. Like for example, The Lost Patrol from Piermont. This band has been around for some time bringing out 5 albums in the meantime with which they tackle the beautiful guitar sounds of the 80's producing a slightly melancholic mood that fits somewhere in between 4AD and Projekt Records, in other words, comparable to bands like Tearwave or Autumn's Grey Solace - and in some places even like Siouxsie and the Banshees in a robe of surf-sound!  Their latest trick - a collection of rarer tracks as well as some new songs - will be released on the German label Kalinkaland Records, who last year graced us with Amber Smith. The website from The Lost Patrol courteously gives us a whole list of songs as free downloads, among them the superb "Orbit"  taken from the new album.
