The Back Room is the debut studio album of British rock band Editors; it was released on 25 July 2005 through Kitchenware Records. The Editors formed while attending university and later moved to Birmingham, where they played club shows and made demos. After signing to Kitchenware in late 2004, the band recorded their debut album at studios in Lincolnshire, London and Wolverhampton. Jim Abbiss produced all but one of the tracks; the exception was produced by Gavin Monaghan. The Back Room is a post-punk revival, gothic rock and indie pop album that has been compared to the works of Echo & the Bunnymen, Elbow and Interpol. "Bullets" was released as the album's lead single in January 2005; it was followed by a tour of the UK. "Munich" and "Blood" were released as the album's second and third singles in April and June 2005, respectively. The album's release was promoted with a UK tour throughout July 2005; "Bullets" was re-released following their debut US show in September 2005. Editors then supported Franz Ferdinand on their UK tour, leading to Editors' headlining tour at the end of 2005. In early 2006, "Munich" was re-released; they promoted it with tours in the US and the UK.
