After announcing their first album after 8 years, 'Wonky', out on 1st April, Orbital have now announced their UK festival appearances for the Summer. Orbital will be hitting Bestival, Secret Garden Party, Bloc and The Beat-Herder from June through to September 2012.
Undefeated champions of British electronic music, Orbital get back in the ring with 'Wonky'. It will be preceded by single ‘New France’ (with Zola Jesus), set for release on 26th March.
Recently reunited following a long sabbatical, Paul and Phil Hartnoll are back on form and ready to reclaim their title as lords of the dance arena. Both timeless and contemporary, heartwarming and exhilarating, 'Wonky' puts a vividly modern spin on their signature blend of melodic, emotive electronica. Confident, energised and eclectic, 'Wonky' has already been described as the duo’s finest album to date.
The track-listing for Wonky is as follows:
One Big Moment
Straight Sun
Never
New France (with Zola Jesus)
Distractions
Stringy Acid
Beelzedub
Wonky
