New Order today release their first new track since 2015’s album,
Music Complete.
“Be a Rebel” was originally planned as a release ahead of New Order’s tour this autumn, but with live shows on hold and their dates re-scheduled to 2021, the band felt it important to share new music with fans.
“
In tough times we wanted to reach out with a new song. We can’t play live for a while, but music is still something we can all share together. We hope you enjoy it… until we meet again.” – Bernard Sumner
With a message to celebrate ourselves and appreciate what we have, even in hard times, “Be a Rebel” is an uplifting, dreamy cut of New Order synthpop. Listen
here.
The single is available digitally now and will be followed by 12” vinyl, CD, and digital bundle formats featuring remixes. Artwork by Warren Jackson.
New Order will also release the definitive collection of their 1983 studio album
Power, Corruption & Lies via Warner Music on October 2. The box set will be accompanied by individual releases of the four 12” vinyl singles from 1983/1984 that didn’t appear on the original album, beginning with the best-selling 12” of all time, “Blue Monday,” followed by “Confusion,” “Thieves Like Us,” and “Murder.”
New Order are: Bernard Sumner, Gillian Gilbert, Stephen Morris, Tom Chapman and Phil Cunningham
