New Order have just released a new-ish album called 'Lost Sirens'! Now I say new-ish because the tracks were recorded during the 'Waiting For The Sirens' Call' sessions between 2003 and 2004 - but six out of the album's eight tracks have never been released until now.
The songs were originally intended for the follow up to 'Waiting For...' but the group broke up in 2007. They've since reformed for some live shows in 2011 and 12 - without Peter Hook - but with the return of Gillian Gilbert.
I find it difficult to consider this their proper ninth album - perhaps 'Leftover Sirens' would be a more apt title. Two tracks have been available previously - 'Hellbent" was released in 2011 as part of the compilation album 'Total: From Joy Division to New Order'. 'I Told You So' also appeared on 'Waiting For..' but 'Lost Sirens' features the 'Crazy World Mix' of the song.
'Lost Sirens' is available for download now on itunes and it will be available physically on cd and as a vinyl + cd package through Amazon tomorrow: http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=new+order+lost+sirens&sprefix=new+order%2Caps%2C493
As 'Lost Sirens' is from the band's early 00's period the focus here is more on guitars - the keyboards are scarce. 'I've Got A Feeling' is a standout track with Peter Hook's soothing bass and some nice guitar effects... Enjoy!
