'"Hallelujah (So Low)"' is a single by British indie rock band, Editors. The song is the second single off of their sixth studio album, 'Violence'. The single was released on 21 February 2018 through PIAS Recordings.
Background and composition
The song was written by Tom Smith when he was traveling through Oxfam and visited refugee camps in Northern Greece. Smith said that experiencing these camps was "obviously an incredibly moving trip, seeing people living in dust, surviving only on the help of others was very moving". Tom Smith of Editors said that he felt the song was the most "rock-oriented" song they have composed in their career.
Music video
The music video was directed by Rahi Rezvani, who also directed the band's music videos from the previous album, 'In Dream'. The music video features the band playing in a monochrome world with rain falling.
Reception
Andrew Trendell of 'New Music Express' compared "Hallelujah (So Low)" to Depeche Mode calling it a blistering electronic rock song. Robin Murray of 'Clash' called the track a "raw and brusied" digital production.
