New Order’s most recent album, Music Complete, came out in 2015. Pet Shop Boys just released Hotspot last month.
Bernard Sumner of New Order and the members of Pet Shop Boys have teamed up before. They worked together on the Electronic project, which included ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr. Here’s “Getting Away With It,” which features both Sumner and Neil Tennant singing. The song is supposedly about Morrissey.
