About Music Complete

Music Complete is the tenth studio album by the English rock band New Order. It was released on 25 September 2015 by Mute Records, their debut on the label. The album features guest vocals from Elly Jackson of La Roux, Iggy Pop and Brandon Flowers. During summer 2015, New Order promoted the album through online media, at Lollapalooza Chile with "Singularity" and "Plastic", and half-minute snippets directly on their YouTube account. Gillian Gilbert returned to the band, but with Tom Chapman taking Peter Hook's bassist role. Musically, the album is more electronic-focused than its two predecessors, and New Order's first of new material in a decade; the previous original album, 2013's Lost Sirens, consisted solely of unreleased archival recordings from 2003-04. The cover art was designed by long-time collaborator Peter Saville and comprises a montage of lines with four colour schemes: red, yellow, green, and blue. The placement of the colours varies depending on the format of release. Music Complete was released on CD, LP (on both clear vinyl and standard black), and digital download on 25 September 2015, with an 8 LP deluxe box set released on 20 November. The album received generally favourable reviews. A tour in support of the album ran from 4 November 2015 through 20 December 2015 more »
