Manchester new wave/alternative band New Order have announced the signing of a deal to independent record company Mute. Founded by Daniel Miller in 1978, the label’s roster include Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, Zola Jesus, Plastikman, Liars and more. Up until their ninth studio LP “Lost Sirens”, which was released on Rhino in 2013, New Order’s previous three albums were released through London Records.

In a press statement, Daniel Miller wrote:

“This is an exciting new chapter for both Mute and New Order and I feel privileged to be working with artists with such a long, creative and successful history. When the possibility of us working together first came up, I was invited to hear some of the new material and immediately had no doubts whatsoever that Mute would be the right home for New Order. We’ve already had a number of creative conversations, and I am looking towards an exciting future.”
