New Order

"Restless"

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Jul 28, 2015

Long-running UK synth-rockers New Order are set to return with their first album in ten years when Music Complete arrives this fall. And while the band has roped in an impressive roster of guest musicians for the forthcoming record, the first single comes courtesy of the band's regular lineup.
 
"Restless" opens with twinkling synths before settling into a verse driven by a thumping bass line and hasty drum beat. As implied by the title, a press release notes that the track "finds the group contemplating life in the modern world."
 
You can hear their pensive take on society's current state by giving "Restless" a spin in the player below.
 
Music Complete is out on September 25 through Mute.
