Following a brief string of dates in the United States in late July and early August, Editors departed for shows in Europe and Japan before returning to the UK to record their next album, An End Has A Start, with producer [[Jacknife Lee]]. The new album was recorded in Grouse Lodge, Ireland. The likes of [[Bloc Party]] and [[Snow Patrol]] have also recorded here with [[Jacknife Lee]]. They have also named some of the album's potential new songs. These include songs which they first began to perform live during 2006: 'Bones' and 'Weight of the World', which is a version of a song which was formerly known as 'Every Little Piece of Your Life', a Snowfield demo. Other tracks named by Tom Smith in a letter to all of the fans on the official forum include 'Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors', 'The Racing Rats', 'An End Has a Start', 'When Anger Shows', 'Push Your Head Towards the Air', 'A Thousand Pieces' and 'An Eye for an Eye'. Stripped down acoustic versions of some of these tracks, and some exclusive new songs were recorded with producer Gavin Monaghan at The Magic Garden studio in Wolverhampton.

Editors' sophomoresecond album was named ''[[An End Has a Start]]'' and was released on [[June 25]], 2007. It was preceded by the single "[[Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors]]" on the 18th. Tom from the band also mentioned "We’ve definitely moved on, it's definitely not the same record again. It's much more ambitious. We never felt like we were going through any kind of difficult second album nonsense. We never hit any wall of 'we don't have enough singles' or 'that sounds shit'. It was all very natural and easy-going."

On [[June 23]], [[2007]], Editors played at the [[Glastonbury Festival]]. Their set included: "Bones", "All Sparks", "Bullets", "Blood", "Escape the Nest", "An End Has a Start", "Munich", "Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors" and "Fingers in the Factories".

The whole album leaked to the Internet on [[May 23]]. In addition to this, ''[[An End Has a Start]]'' is currently being streamed on the band's [[Myspace]].
