Orbital recruit Penelope Isles for new track “Are You Alive?”
Orbital have delivered the third outing from their Optical Delusion album titled “Are You Alive?”, which sees the duo join forces with Penelope Isles.
“Are You Alive?” Featuring Penelope Isles will appear on Orbital’s Optical Delusion album with last year’s Mediæval Bæbes collaboration “Ringa Ringa (The Old Pandemic Folk Song)" and "Dirty Rat" featuring Sleaford Mods.
Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll says of working with Penelope Isles, “They're our studio mates, they work upstairs! And they've both got amazing voices.”
Optical Delusion will be Orbital's tenth album, and will follow 2018's Monsters Exist. It'll feature collaborations with Anna B Savage and more.
“Are You Alive?” featuring Penelope Isles is out now. Orbital's Optical Delusion album lands on 17 February, and is available to pre-order now.
