Orbital by Kenny McCracken
“I guess it’s about telling people to take responsibility for their own actions,” Orbital’s Phil Hartnoll said.
Orbital and Sleaford Mods have teamed up on Dirty Rat.
“The ongoing culture of non-thought mostly exists because of a lack of education into critical thought,” Jason Williamson commented. “How do you mobilise a people firmly imprisoned by a concrete system?”
“This track is a giant capital letter,” Paul Hartnoll added. “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!”
The track will feature on Orbital’s new album Optical Delusion when it’s released on February 17th next year.
