Bleep

Post-punk legends New Order present further adventures in electronic rock with their dance-influenced 1984 single ‘Thieves Like Us’. Peter Hook’s staggered bass groove invokes propulsive disco rhythms, as a synth soaks the mix in icy coolness and a plucky, faded lead punctuates its density. Meanwhile, the b-side ‘Lonesome Tonight’ is a slow dance classic, swaying with a dub sensibility and swirling, arppegiated guitar notes.
