Back when they were recording their 2005 LP, Waiting for the Sirens' Call, post-punk torchbearers New Order ended up with a handful of extra songs. They will finally see release on January 15th on Rhino. The unused tracks from the sessions were written and recorded before the departure of original bassist Peter Hook and appear completely intact.

Here you can take an exclusive first listen to Lost Sirens, which features no shortage of lovelorn yet wholly danceable cuts, such as opener "I'll Stay With You." "Hellbent" features a scorching guitar that morphs into chiming synths when the chorus drops, and "I've Got a Feeling" rides a supple bass line and steady drum groove to its sunny apex.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
