Orbital announce new album, Optical Delusion

Orbital have announced a new album, Optical Delusion, which is tipped for release on 17th February through London Records.

The LP will include collaborations and contributions from Penelope Isles, Anna B Savage, The Little Pest, Dina Ipavic, Coppe, and The Mediaeval Baebes.

As well as new productions and material, there will also be new remakes of classic Orbital tracks including Chime, Halcyon and Belfast.

The first single to be released from the LP is Dirty Rat, which sees the duo team up with Sleaford Mods.

“This track is a giant capital letter,” says Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll. “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!”
