New Order share "Restless" from new album (listen)

New Order Restless

New Order have shared the first single from their new album, Music Complete, which is the band’s first for Mute and will be out in September. While the return of Gillian Gilbert to the fold has given hope for the electronic side of the band, “Restless” is in “Crystal” mode: sleek danceable rock that is distinctly New Order. You get Bernard Sumner’s off-the-cuff lyrical style and, yes, there is still that bass style — even if it’s not Peter Hook playing it. Not bad, but not surprising. Stream it below.

The band have fall tour dates in Europe and the UK, including two nights in their Manchester hometown. None announced for North America, stay tuned. All dates are listed below.
