New Order

World Mental Health Day is Saturday, October 10, and to help promote it, street artist Akse P19 has painted a mural of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis…

This week in Indie Basement: new albums from Death Valley Girls, Working Men’s Club and Roisin Murphy, plus reissues from New Order, Slowdive and XTC.

How much would you pay for Curtis’ iconic Vox Phantom VI Special Guitar?

”The 1980s looked bloody terrible,” Bernard Sumner says. ”I hated the fashion.”

It’s New Order’s first single in five years.

It looks like New Order are releasing a new single this week, but in the meantime their classic 12″ singles compilation is back on streaming services.

Watch full concert videos from Psychedelic Furs, OMD, Echo & The Bunnymen, New Order, The Smiths, Suzanne Vega, Jesse Johnson, and other ’80s artists from the Pretty in Pink soundtrack.

New Order are an amazing singles band but their robust catalog offers so much more. Here are their best deep cuts, which are essential listening to anyone who already loves “Age of Consent,” “Blue Monday,” “Bizarre Love Triangle,” “Ceremony,” “True Faith” and “Regret.”

This week in the Basement: reviews of new albums from Billy Nomates and Ganser, plus New Order’s Power, Corruption and Lies gets the box set treatment, a new series of Ennio Morricone compilations, and Edsel unearth a “lost” EP.

The album has been remastered from the original analogue tapes for the first time ever and the box set comes a disc of 17 outtakes, and two DVDs with live performances and television appearances.
