Orbital announce new LP, share fantastic Sleaford Mods collab “Dirty Rat”

“That track is just a capital letter, isn’t it?” says Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll. “Big, simple, loud statement. It’s punk rock, a real wake up kind of track.” Adds Phil Hartnoll, “I love Jason’s presence. He’s just brilliant and this is an old-school dance music vibe, with bits of Cabaret Voltaire and even The Shamen in it. And it's a really simple statement; you voted for them, so take responsibility for your own actions.”

Jason Williamson says, “The ongoing culture of non-thought mostly exists because of a lack of education into critical thought. How do you mobilize a people firmly imprisoned by a concrete system?”

Orbital did note on Twitter today that it was perfect timing for this song to come out the day UK Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned after only six (disastrous) weeks in office.

"Dirty Rat" is a full-on, old-school Orbital techno banger, and you can watch the fantastic video, directed by Luke Losey (Smiley) and shot in Leysdown-on-Sea on The Isle Of Sheppey, below.
