Orbital are due to return with their first album in eight years, Wonky, on April 1.
Phil and Paul Hartnoll have joined up with Zola Jesus who adds her vocals to the first single taken from the album, entitled ‘New France.’ As you would expect, from a legendary dance act, yes it comes with a remixes – but what you might not expect (if you are cynical about remixes, rather than if you know how bloody great Orbital are and have always been, obviously!) is that those remixes would be so blinking awesome. All worth checking out, IMHO.
The video for the song is rather cool, too…
The album tracklisting is as follows:
1. One Big Moment
2. Straight Sun
3. Never
4. New France (feat. Zola Jesus)
5. Distractions
6. Stringy Acid
