New Order English rock band confirm new album releaseJanuary 26, 2015 - 11:52 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - New Order have confirmed they will be releasing a new album later this year, Gigwise reports. The album will be their first release in nearly ten years and their first without founding member and bassist Peter Hook, who left the band back in 2007. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the group revealed they already have two songs completed entitled 'Plastic' and 'Restless', the first of which surfaced during a live performance last year. Bernard joked: "It's rainy and cold and wet outside. It's dark. It's a good time to write." Drummer Stephen Morris added: "That explains a lot of the band's content, doesn't it? Bernard (Sumner) likes to be alone while writing – alone with his wine." The band will be releasing the album on Mute, home to an array of synth-y electronic artists like Zola Jesus, Arca and Depeche Mode. When the record comes out, Sumner says that fans will be treated to a heavy electronic sound with melodic guitars and "an orchestral feel." "Some people may say that electronic music is cold and unromantic," Sumner says, referencing their hit "Blue Monday" as a example of how a song can be both robotic and emphatic. "That's true in a way, but now a computer is able to translate exactly what your brain is thinking. That's exciting. It's what we were trying to achieve in the 1980s."
