The Hartnoll brothers’ 11th studio Other album arrives on March 19th, with The Other Tour opening at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on April 8th.
Orbital will return in 2027 with a new studio album, Other, out on London Records on Friday March 19th 2027.
The Kent-born brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll follow it with The Other Tour, which begins in Dublin at the 3Olympia Theatre on Thursday April 8th, then takes in Limerick and Belfast before heading around the UK and Europe.
The first single is ‘Mother, Maiden & Crone’ out now which features the English actor Maxine Peake. It draws on witchcraft and folklore, with gothic synth lines and séance-like vocals, and it is Orbital’s first new music since 2023’s Optical Delusion.
Thematically, Other is about otherness: neurodiversity, identity, outsiders and the freedom to exist outside society’s categories. The band say it moves through gothic folk, drum & bass, punk and ambient music alongside their trademark electronic sound.
