General Info (German):
New Order kündigen mit großer Freude an, dass sie einen Vertrag bei Mute unterzeichnet haben und ihr kommendes Album bei Mute erscheinen wird.

Zur Vertragsunterzeichnung sagt Daniel Miller: „Es ist ein aufregendes neues Kapitel, dass sowohl New Order als auch Mute hier aufschlagen – ich fühle mich privilegiert mit Künstlern zusammenzuarbeiten, die eine so lange, reiche und erfolgreiche Geschichte haben. Als die Idee einer Zusammenarbeit ursprünglich entstand, lud mich die Band ein, einige ihrer neuen Stücke zu hören. Ich zweifelte nicht eine Sekunde, dass Mute die richtige Label-Heimat für New Order sein würde. Seitdem hatten wir viele anregender, kreativer Gespräche und ich freue mich auf eine wirklich interessante und spannende Zukunft.“

Wir könnten uns keinen besseren Ort vorstellen und freuen uns auf die Zusammenarbeit mit Daniel Miller und seinem Team.
