Orbital start a UK tour next month.
New Music Friday has brought the release of Orbital‘s tenth studio album Optical Delusion – stream it here on Live4ever.
The LP is packed with special guests including Penelope Isles, Anna B Savage and Coppe, while the collaboration with Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods was one of the very early previews back in October 2022.
“This track is a giant capital letter,” Paul Hartnoll said of Dirty Rat. “Like in the Book of Kells, where the very first letter always gets the big treatment from the monk when he’s doing his illustrated borders.”
“It’s got that old school dance music vibe with bits of Cabaret Voltaire in there, even bits of The Shamen. It’s a little bit punk rock, nice and loud. A really refreshing, ‘wake up’ kind of track. And Jason is just brilliant!”
