[tweetmeme]The members of New Order have been talking up new music since reuniting a few years ago, and the prospect of a new album became that much more real this past September when the band signed to the legendary Mute label and it was announced that the now Peter Hook-less group
soon
would return to the studio to work on new music.
On Monday, the band offered a progress report on its work via an in-studio photo posted to Instagram bearing the caption “Mixing…” In that picture, shown above, bandmembers Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert can be seen, although Bernard Sumner doesn’t appear to be in the shot.
No other information was provided by the band. So far this year, however, New Order
has debuted a pair of new songs in concert (
“Singularity”and
“Plastic”).
New Order’s most recent studio release was last year’s Lost Sirens, a collection of Waiting For the Sirens’ Call outtakes that stands as Hook’s last recordings with the group.
