New Order album to be released in Autumn 2015

New Order have confirmed in an interview with Rolling Stone that they plan to release their first studio recording in ten years this autumn, with frontman Bernard Sumner going on to say that the record feels like “the logical thing to do” for the band.

It will be the Manchester group’s first since 2005’s ‘Waiting For The Sirens’ Call’, though a rarities collection called ‘Lost Sirens’ was released in 2013. The record is also the first since Peter Hook’s departure, with the remaining members Sumner, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert, Phil Cunningham and Tom Chapman now signed to Mute Records.

Three recently heard tracks - ‘Singularity’, ‘Plastic’ and ‘Restless’ - are expected to feature on the LP. Drummer Morris says that the record has been “coming since 2011.” “I don’t think we’d ever finish [recording] if we didn’t have someone to tell us to stop,” he added in the interview. “It’s hard to let something you’re working on go.”
